Canada Is Mourning 215 Indigenous Children After Their Remains Were Found At A Residential School
The Tk’emlúps te Secwe̓pemc First Nation confirmed last week that 215 children who attended Kamloops Indian Residential School had been buried there.
Hasnain says:
“"If you look at the blueprints for residential schools when they were first built, many blueprints indicated that there were plans for graveyards to be put in," she told BuzzFeed News. "You don’t build a cemetery into a high school for white kids."
She added that there were indications of mass abuse and deaths at these schools as early as the 1920s, but there was never any formal tracking of the violence while they were operational.”
