A First Nations community in western Canada has discovered the remains of nearly 200 people on the grounds of a former residential school, adding to the growing tally of unmarked graves across the country.
The Lower Kootenay Band said on Wednesday that ground-penetrating radar had revealed 182 human remains at St Eugene’s Mission residential school, near the city of Cranbrook, British Columbia. Some of the remains were buried in shallow graves only three and four feet deep.
In case anyone's counting, that's over 1,100 bodies from 3 of about 130 schools. Doesn't include hospitals/health care facilities, or the like.
So using the average (mean) from this very small sample size, we could expect a total of 47,580 bodies to be found across all 130 schools.
So many children murdered in the name of white supremacy. I hope the indigenous community can find some peace in the public recognizing how awful they've been treated
