Radar used on the old orchard that was on the grounds because in the late 1990s and early 2000s, a child's tooth and rib bone were found by someone walking the grounds.
So far 2 acres of the total 200 acres at that site have been searched.
Archaeologists will be coming in to help map and possibly exhume the site.
It makes me heartsick to know this has happened.

THUGR posts about Putin so much, he must be in love.
It is.
What will be even worse is when the ball if and when it really gets rolling in the US on former residential school sites.
My heart breaks a little more the more I hear. When I see pictures of the children forced into these places, I find myself trying to imagine what it must have been like for my grandmother and her sisters and brother being carted away to one of these places in the US. Most likely by an Indian agent and whatever clergy depending on where they were sent in Montana.

Quote:In my view, it is better and better - to exposed and reveal the horrors which were perpetrated. What happened in history was worse and worse, but now exposing it is important, our version of a Holocaust.

The more we expose, the better.

Another school site to be investigated. This one operated in North Vancouver from 1899 till 1959 when it was closed. 2,000 children from the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-waututh were there. Once it closed they were sent up to Kamloops.
12 graves found. Radar will be used. The Arch-Diocese of Vancouver was at the site with chiefs and elders from all three tribes to apologize. They will and are turning over their records from the "school" which was called St. Paul's.
The building is long gone and there has been development on the site, but there is still enough clear areas for radar to be useful.

Premier Scott Moe apologizing was the right thing to do.

From what I have been reading
Crimes certainly happened a culture genocide but I still don't know if the crimes are as bad as some people say. Authority they had something similar in Australia and other places of the world a Native School Institution where parents forcibly had their kids removed. The deliberate destruction of culture to 'Modernize' people the Stolen Generation, a crime against their way of life, their language, mythology, their stories and music and cultures destroyed and their minds filled with something else to try fit them inside the 'modern society'. People in the West would often just leave their kid out and be wild when they had little money, it was almost like Africa a new frontier and poor, during the Victorian era, child abandonment was rampant, and orphanages were set up to reduce infant mortality. To make kids 'shut up' nurses often administered Godfrey's Cordial, a special concoction of opium and treacle...it was common practice to drug them to keep them quiet and make them sleep. Child Labor was common, moving from a steam punk era to a more industrial era the kids homes were often near a 'workhouse', little hands put into textile producers or factories, there places almost next to the orphanages, children were sold off to cotton mills. Today in the world's poorest countries we get a glimpse of what life would be like with one in five children engaged in child labor.
Canadians back in those days might be lucky to Live into their 40s, a person could normally expect to live less than 50 years, no electricity, town and city sanitation poor, lack of medical supplies, no indoor plumbing, no telephones no internet access, and no modern healthcare were standard. The modern health access is standard now not luxuries, a cut could get infected the flu could kill you.
I also watched a few vids on this event from Let and 'Right' like Rebel Media.
There was slowly a push back from Conservative magazines and news stations and religion networks like EWTN, they claim Hundreds of Millions spent and 'Zero Bodies' in the Mass of the “Graves”. This is clearly wrong there were very high numbers of 'Deaths'.
It seems the graves were less widespread than initially thought, a question could be asked are the deaths much different to the expected deaths during this period. There also seems to be a phasing out of the Orphanage in the West, adoptive homes, today’s domestic adoptions no longer involve traditional orphanages so its more difficult to compare data. However in the past a tough winter and flu season could create death in Orphanages, investigate and uncover the supposed graves. There has also been push back Mass Graves report was "a hoax", while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau directed that flags on all Canada federal buildings be flown at half-mast. Lasting for over five months, it would mark "the longest period in Canadian history that the flag has been at half-mast"

next of course came anger and Churches of many different faiths started getting firebombed just as the horde of islamist jihad invaders playing 'refugee' to get papers newly arrived from their war zones in Syria or Libya then go crazy and attack churches in Europe. A very similar path of crimes against culture seem to have happened in Australia, horror stories eventually end the orphanage system and in the 1970s and 1980s and finally in the 1990s many large children's homes were closed down. I am maybe in two-minds about the entire system, a strict teacher or priest or nun might have put 'discipline' into some kids when compared to today you see teens running around drugged out of their minds, stealing vehicles and involved in crime. I'm not making a statement these institutions were ok but maybe the pendulum swings to far the other direction? and if you want to read about deaths of kids just look at the War Zones of Asia, the Middle East Af

Heard an interview with Jewel Staite. She was talking about one of her family separated, like great grandparent. She didn't use the term Residential Schools, maybe thinking Americans would be unaware of the term.
That was the first time I heard her talking about that.

They were called "Indian Boarding Schools" in the US. She might not be familiar with that term. But make no mistake they were Residential Schools and that is the only title I will ever use.
