      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.

        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.
