On July 19, 2022, the Canadian government set up the National Advisory Committee on Residential Schools, Missing Children and Unmarked Burials to investigate the alleged abuse and murder of Indian children by Christian missionaries and school teachers between 1880 and 1996. National fury erupted in 2015 with the claim that 215 burial sites had been discovered at the Kamloops Indian Residential School by ground-penetrating radar (GPR) scans. The monostory of indigenous suffering and “settler” guilt had to be fixed in technical readouts and funerary stone. Predictably, the allegation proved to be false.
