I ask myself would Jesus have dumped the flesh and bones of 215 children, one of them, a 3 year old, into a massive pit ? No tomb. No stone. No markers of any kind. The Church's mission was to “take the Indian out of the child” Seems to me they took the Christ out of Christian.
My thanks to documentary film maker @Alethea_Aggiuq "Details will emerge with a report..it’s likely many burials over time means it was a long held & known practice to hide the bodies of dead native children in unmarked mass graves.. a policy...deliberately continued and hidden."
My friend @KyleIrvingin Winnipeg, produced what many think of as the definitive film about Residential Schools. This was done for the National Film Board. It's called "We were Children." available at NFB.ca site and #AmazonPrime nfb.ca/film/we_were_c…
Thank you @KyleIrving for your friendship and continuing correspondence and it's good to know that your film "We Were Children" is enlightening young minds everywhere in this country.

"TRC has identified more than 4,100 children who died..Comissioner Murray Sinclair would say as many as 6,000 might be more realistic, and that might not even be enough, because so many of these deaths were hidden,” globalnews.ca/news/7908050/r…
"Over the decades, the evidence of mass grave sites have been unearthed near or at sites of former residential schools. These include the 72 graves uncovered at the Battleford Industrial School in Saskatchewan in the 1970s;"
"the coffins of 34 children who had died at nearby Dunbow Residential School in Alberta in 2001; and, the two dozen graves discovered near the Muskowekwan Residential School in Regina two years ago." ctvnews.ca/canada/what-we…
