The Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations reported that they’ve spent $7.9 million towards locating Indigenous children’s bodies that were allegedly buried at a former residential school in Kamloops, BC.
Despite this funding, still not one body has been found at any former residential school site in Canada.
Nonetheless, the department calls the allegations a “heartbreaking truth,” as per a 2022 briefing note.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, the Crown-Indigenous Relations department stated that the $7.9 million, allocated in 2021, has been spent on records searches, field work, and securing the perimeter at the Kamloops site.
No excavations are known to have been done.
“Anomalies”
Media in Canada first reported on mass graves at residential schools in May 2021. Archeologists detected what they believed to be 215 unmarked graves at an old school in Kamloops after using the radar technology that identified “anomalies.”
The same technology was used to discover 14 “anomalies” at a former residential school in Manitoba, which, after an excavation last year, turned out to be nothing more than rocks and dirt.
The results of the four week excavation at the former school site were announced quietly on a Friday afternoon.
CBC heavily involved
The CBC was originally hellbent on perpetuating the mass graves narrative that inspired protests and terrorist arson across the country.
At least 83 churches have been burned to the ground or vandalized in Canada since 2021.
Last October, a Conservative-led motion calling for all political parties to condemn the nationwide attack on churches in Canada was denied by NDP and Liberal MPs, with one saying doing so might “trigger” Indigenous Canadians.
