Canada: Canadian Indigenous Chief: ‘Nobody Can Deny Residential Schools Were The Genocide Of Our People’ (Includes audio)
KUOW – June 03, 2021
Indigenous Canadians are mourning the loss of 215 children whose remains were found in a mass grave at a former residential school in British Columbia. The Kamloops Indian Residential School was one of about 130 just like it that operated from the late 1800s to the late 1960s. First Nations children were forcibly taken there to be assimilated into Christian culture.
