What's the name of the book? I tried to find it on the lemmy app but it's impossible to find shit on this app lmao
3 out of 139 residential “schools” have searches with reports.
Here is the kicker… those 139 “schools” are just the ones that got federal support. There is more that the provincial governments and churches ran.
The records are such a fucking mess they are estimating the final count will be 3000-30000. We don’t even really know how many children were taken from their families.
The only number we are pretty sure of is mortality rates of the children in the schools was 40%-%60.
Fucking shithole country.

That's worse than some of the Nazi forced labor camps
What the fuck why have I been learning of this in 2021
:doomjak:
And this death toll doesn't even factor in the cultural genocide that took place. Decades of banning native languages and culture.
The last school closed in the late 90s. 1990s, not 1890s.
Also something like eight churches have been burnt down and seven of them were on indigenous land :sicko-yes:
yes, and this is only the beginning of reckoning
Yeah it's a pretty big story in Canada. Over a thousand bodies so far iirc.
I hope every Indigenous person who lost a family member opens a lawsuit and bankrupts Canada
True. They hid their genocide of natives for much longer. They were still operating these schools in the late 1990s.
America could only dream of being that good.
Kkklanadians sweating profusely, demanding you ignore this happened
