My advice: if at all possible, shovel and shut up. Most of Canada has ancient indigenous graves all over it if you know where to look. I’m personally aware of an unmarked grave in the same spot where an old Indian campsite used to be in my neighborhood.
A couple say they’re on the hook for hundreds of thousands dollars after Indigenous ancestral remains were found on their property in Wainfleet, Ont.
“They learned that burial site investigation is hefty work. One quote estimated 27 days, a crew of six, 100 square meters of dirt sifted through screens, and local indigenous oversight. The total: $319,000.”
Having to jump through as many hoops as necessary in Canada to have a building put up, I can’t imagine a set of circumstances whereby I’d invite an additional level of gov’t to oversee a project. I can’t imagine how much fun it is to have something built in the UK.
You can really replace most of Canada with most of earth.
I would be suprised if many many spots on earth If you carefully searched the earth you would not find some sort of grave of some sort of age within say 100 meters.
But most countries don’t make the house owner responsible for the investigation/archeology.
Yeah, the Wainfleet couple thought they were being very civic-minded and doing the right thing and are now being punished for it.
I know of a logging contractor (I won’t name names) who a few years ago was barging an excavator past an Indian Reserve on the mid coast when the Chief ran down to the beach and flagged him down. She asked if he would donate some time with his excavator and dig a trench for a drain line from a septic system to the ocean as they had been ordered by the government. He wanted to be co-operative and agreed to do the work. As he was getting close to the beach, he started digging up human remains and immediately stopped. The Chief then told him that “they were just slaves, keep digging” which he did.
It’s all part of a game that they play with the suicidal empaths of the state that apparently just gave the Musqueam Band (1250 members) title to all of the Lower Mainland (property owned? by 2,000,000 people). The federal government refuses to release the agreements involved. The msm is not rep0rting the story.

well CanaDUUUUHHHHHHHHH youre getting what you DEMAND at the ballot box.
purest of purest LIEberalism. catering to e-v-e-r-y special group but the wasps.
Can’t they get some Archeology students to dig some holes … and run dirt through screens for a LOT LESS than $300k? Hell … I’ll even cater the Tim Hortons coffee and donuts.
The answer is real simple: no construction, no roads, no cell towers, no water wells on First Nation land, cause it might disturb ancient burial grounds, and/or sacred soil where the spirits walk.
And tribal Elder accounts aren’t valid, as they do not include the graves or spirit paths of the Clovis people.
“Most of Canada has ancient indigenous graves all over it ”
There wwre huge areas of the country that had no Indian presence at all.
However, if you find a flint arrowhead on your back forty, put it in your pocket and tell your grandchildren that your great uncle found it when he was a young man while working on the water mains in Rockliffe Park.
That’s why if you own property outside of an urban area and come across a circle made of stones, you should take those stones and either get rid of them or scattered them in the bush. Also if you have property around a lake, you should be prepared because you will be told that they used to take their sick down to the lake shore to heal and of course many would die and be left there. Private property around lakes in BC are in big trouble. It’s a scam of course, but you get the drift.
This reminds me of the three S rule that should be observed when finding an ‘endangered’ animal…
Shoot, Shovel, Shut-up
“Shoot, Shovel, Shut-up”
Unless it’s a tasty animal. 😉
Shoot, shovel, saute!
“Endangered’… or a raccoon.
Critical action: Shut Up.
its a variation on ‘confidential source’ syndrome. a judgey judge ORDERS the journalist to RAT OUT YOUR SOURCE.
it works *for that instance* buuuuuuuuut future ‘anonymous sources’ all CLAM UP FOR YEARS AFTER.
sooooooooo judgey thugjudge, *where is the lasting gain???? nowhere. youre just a bully got their way, and everyone clammed up.
soooooooooooo what can we NOW expect *everywhere and always* when unidentified bones show up? DESECRATION of the burial site and rightly so, given himmel zein!!!! ve haff rrddddules zat muzzdt be HOBEYED. zieg hiel!!!!!! undt hiel Carney achtchung !!!!!!
Through 10,000 or 20,000 years there are a lot of Indian bones out there. I suspect the only place that doesn’t have Indian bones is the old residential school at Kamloops. That is the old septic field.
I know the quarter sections where there are maybe eight pioneer burials, gleaned from the death certificates of my old neighbors. I likely farmed over 2 or 3 of them. I hope they were buried deep.
Good fertilizer, them folks.
Don’t put too deep a scar in those fields … or it’s Poltergeist for you! Steven Spielberg says so.
Weird, I thought the perfect, immaculate, unassailably-divine Stone-Age torture-and-slave merchant “First Nations” didn’t believe in property.
Why would this be a problem?
Shit, I forgot to make a land acknowledgement before this post. How do you make a land acknowledgement to illiterate Stone Age savages who don’t believe in property? Seems pretty racist.
Aye second that.
Must bow down to the wisdom of the First.
Name a croaked indian that’s worth $319K. I’ll wait.
Shovel and shut up, as counseled above.

Can Ahh Duh!.
Specializing in persecuting the compliant.
This gullible couple obviously missed all the warning signs and notices..Government has declared war on the tax paying citizen.
Well the parasitic overload has run out of income to steal.now they will take assets..
As Vancouver just found out.
And be warned,you will be extorted $750 000 if you dare call a thief a thief…
Go ahead and comply ,you can be number 1 in the abuse line.
Welp, if its not your land, then why should you have to pay?
I’d say I don’t own the land and specifically not the mineral rights to it, so not my problem!
You want your land acknowledgement, here it is!
My dad worked on constructing the highway down the Skeena River during WWII. It happened that Indian graves kept showing up on the right-of-way overnight— the bereaved family would receive small compensation and the road-building went on.
On the same reserve much later the band council was installing a sewer system. When human bones were discovered, they were transferred to another hole and work went on uninterrupted.
