The continuing silence of the kiddie fiddlers on this matter is telling.
Between 1831 and 1996, Canada’s residential school system separated nearly 150,000 children from their homes by force. Many were subjected to abuse, rape and malnutrition in what the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in 2015 called “cultural genocide.”
Run by the government and church groups, most of them Catholic, the schools’ stated aim was to assimilate indigenous children.
According to TRC reports, the students of these residential schools were often subject to physical and sexual abuse by staff. They were malnourished, underfed, and made to live in poor housing conditions that threatened their safety. Infectious diseases like tuberculosis and influenza were also rampant among students, leading to many deaths.

Which is exactly what I have been saying. The Kamloops Chief Casimir said yesterday that this isn't a mass grave. I am looking forward to more details in short order to clarify these things. It also appears that the band has taken this to the U.N. who are now involved in the situation calling it a genocide. So, we'll see where this goes.
A true diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a manner that you will be asking for directions.
There's always that.
They have already got this on the international news and have taken it to and been acknowledged by the UN, so that's pretty good for a little known Indian band.
All we actually have at the current time is long standing stories of the 'knowing' and some guy with a ground penetrating radar machine. No further work has been done. We are actually being told very little about the technical details of the findings, and yet this has gone international.
Very unusual.
For start, they have taken it first to the Pope at Vatican. At UN it is on waiting list, they have another booking (please no names here).
In fact, there is no urgent action needed, it will not change anything on the fate of the poor kids.
The UN should concentrate rather urgently on Ethiopia's Tigray. What's the funny style of the Nobelists to always award a Peace Prize to somebody who will afterwards start a war?
Pope Francis met with two Canadian Cardinals on Saturday amid mounting pressure on the Catholic Church to take responsibility for Canada's residential school system, though it's not known what was discussed.
No information was immediately available about why the Pope met with Cardinal Marc Ouellet, prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, and Cardinal Michael Czerny, a top official in the Vatican's migrants and refugees portfolio.
The meetings were disclosed in the Vatican's daily roster of papal audiences.

June 5, 2021
TORONTO (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday he is “deeply disappointed” the Roman Catholic Church has not offered a formal apology and made amends for its role in Canada’s former system of church-run Indigenous boarding schools after the remains of 215 children were located at what was once the country’s largest such institution.
Trudeau called on the church to “step up” and take responsibility after years of silence.

Indeed . . . we know . . . 2 of the 3 largest mass-graves in the world involve Russia.
Hopefully the 'secret' as to how and why will come out sooner rather than later in Canada
3. Chechnya Massacres
Dead bodies on a truck in GroznyThe bloody Chechen War began in 1994. Since then a startling number of mass graves have been discovered in the region. In 2008 a total of 58 mass burial sites had been found. The number of victims buried in these graves number in the thousands. The largest mass grave, located in Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, contains the bodies of 800 victims, all of whom are presumed to have perished during the First Chechen War which took place from December 1994 to August 1996.
2. Mass Graves Of Victims Of Stalin's Rule
Joseph Stalin was a notoriously brutal leader who ruled over the Soviet Union from 1922 until 1953. During his bloody reign his band of secret police were reportedly responsible for the murders of approximately 700,000 people. The majority of these victms were dumped into mass graves which were distributed throughout the nation.
