Why didn’t the Canadian government wait for proof before sending the country into a tailspin of anger and anti-Christian violence?
When a young anthropologist claimed in late May 2021 that she had discovered 215 unmarked graves near the Kamloops Residential School in British Columbia, a wave of horror swept across Canada.
Local First Nations chief Roseanne Casimir said that her community had “knowledge” that Indigenous children who had died at the school were secretly buried in the nearby orchard. In the late 1990s a child’s rib was apparently found by a tourist in the area, and a tooth in a subsequent dig in the early 2000s.
