Another 160 kids鈥 graves in Canada
Print Edition
The western Canadian Penelakut Tribe says it has found more than 160 unmarked graves near the site of a former indigenous boarding school, Canada鈥檚 fourth discovery of this kind in recent weeks.
In the last month, discoveries of more than 1,000 graves have prompted a nationwide reckoning over Canada鈥檚 policies of forced assimilation.
鈥淲e are at another point in time where we must face the trauma because of these acts of genocide,鈥 said Penelakut Tribe Chief Joan Brown in a July 8 statement confirming 鈥160+ undocumented and unmarked graves鈥 newly uncovered on the British Columbia reservation.
鈥淚t鈥檚 the tip of the iceberg,鈥 said Bob Chamberlin, former vice president of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs. He estimates dozens of other unmarked graves have not yet been found.
鈥淢y heart breaks for the Penelakut Tribe and for all the indigenous communities,鈥 said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
