Sad ๐๐๐๐๐งก
A national day of mourning is not nearly enough.
Could have died from natural causes, TB chicken pox etc. Where no medicines back then
@Moms MADD don’t down play this you heartless monster
@Moms MADD No medicines way back in 1978? Please stop commenting.
@Moms MADD and put into unmarked graves??
@Lucas We estimated that tuberculosis caused nearly a quarter of a million deaths in children younger than 15 years of age in 2015. More than 80% of these deaths are in children younger than 5 years of age, which would make tuberculosis a top ten cause of death in this age group that is missing from all previous analyses.Sep. 1, 2017 Hmmmm we have medicine.
That’s so sad hope they are at rest
That is murder.
@MasterIronfist If u have studied Canadian history, and the history of the Catholic Church they did this in Ireland too to children of unwed mothers, stole them, sold them for profit & many were dumped in mass graves.. b/c they’re a religion of peace & love… LOL
@Jonathan Edward I have read about this in detail.
You should also understand the governments of the day DIRECTED this to happen. Both are responsible for these vile things. Canadian governments then wanted to forcibly assimilate them into Canadian culture.
@MasterIronfist liar. It’s the Catholic church and european empires.
@William Okpara so I said the Canadian government, that was a European based power when the residential schools started.
@MasterIronfist okay but let’s not ignore the Catholic church.
Heart broken
Who is Responsible and why they were executed , if this is Crime it needs Justice.
The church ,government, law enforcement, medical staff , and the public !!!
That’s who did it !!! All in the name of progress
@MasterIronfist it was a catholic school… that right there is pure evil
@Moms MADD you must be catholic
@Sean Mahoney No I m not . I m an atheist
Catholics are responsible and Pope funds the genocide.
Do we know what caused the deaths? there would be records, it’s not that long ago.
@MasterIronfist You must be a child. The 90s is about 30 years ago. FYI: There are many adults who are older than 30 years old. Many are even older than 60 years old ๐ฎ and would easily be old enough to have worked there when this was happening!
The Catholic Church has worked to bury the evidence as they have done globally. What caused their death was the desire to exterminate their culture. These children were stolen by the Crown & by Clergy. How they died is beside the point. They died after being forcibly kidnapped . Look up Bishop Grandin words on residential schools.
Most genocidaires try hard to destroy records after the job is done.
Do you seriously believe any institution callous enough to dump dead children in a mass grave would keep accurate records? If there are/were records, I can guarantee these children were listed as “runaways”.
@lacteur1 It is even worse…it is not a mass grave….just dozens of childrens bodies buried at random on the grounds. ๐
Investigate and bring to justice! Enough with no action. Crime is crime
as long as half the population of the country is catholic, nothing will happen
Thank you everyone for your support.. Bless you all.
Over 6000 children disappeared from 150,000 in concentration camps in Canada.
How many Uyghurs have disappeared in China’s re-education camps, in the past couple of years?
Schools to educate indigenous was the only solution.
@Resologist none. As a matter of fact their numbers is growing. Stop deflecting yt boi, just recognized that your ancestors and the Catholic church are criminals.
This is so heartbreaking ๐โค
Do any other boarding schools have their own graveyards?
of course….not found yet.
Oh yes they do
Hanfu, please forgive me I printed your name wrong. Iโm so sorry. ๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ
I want to know how this happened and who is responsible for this atrocity or do we just try to sweep a mass burial site under the rug? Will anybody be held accountable?
the catholics wont
Not when the government does it.
NO of limitations on MURDER !
Wtf has happened? Is it like from 18 century or what?
All the more reason to to dissolve the catholic church criminals and expose the collaboration between government and church institutions.
Rush to judgment? Canada has already spent millions on a flawed TRC report that ignored the positives.
If the last school was shut down 1993. Then the culprits are alive.
Didn’t the queen visit this place? Didn’t children go missing during that visit?
