To those shocked/outraged by the #215children found, calling for something to be done. Something HAS been done, but Canada ignores this work & instead fights to keep truths hidden.
Read the reports of the TRC, RCAP, MMIWG, MB AJI, or read our blog bc we talk about all of them
These children had not been forgotten. People knew they were there. People witnessed this atrocity. There are other schools too, where the same is true. There's a whole section in the TRC report about it.
Important: Canada didn't find these children, their communities did
Their communities arranged for the search, the church denied any such mass grave, Canada was silent.
There's no possibility that 215 children can be buried at their school and those charged with their care know nothing about it.
This was a crime, committed by Canada and committed by the church and communities have been trying to tell you all about it for YEARS.
it's time to listen and it's time to act.
If you're angry, read the reports. Write to your government. Tell them your vote depends on making a proper response to these reports a priority. That you'll only vote for truth seekers.
More children are out there, and it's maddening that we have to discover them for the public to feel something about the genocide inflicted on an entire people. But if you're feeling something now, take action. Do some of this work.
