There are many questions that need to be answered in the wake of the recent media accounts surrounding the discovery of abandoned cemeteries in Kamloops, British Columbia and at the former Marieval Indian Residential School site in Saskatchewan.
The Liberal government ignored the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s 2015 (TRC) Report. Volume 4 of the multi-volume Final Report entitled “Canada’s Residential Schools: Missing Children and Unmarked Burials”. It is a sobering 286 page (including index) read. Sobering too, is the Report prepared for the TRC by anthropologist, Dr. Scott Hamilton who was retained by the Commission to address the issue of the cemeteries (WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN BURIED?). Both documents have been in the public domain since 2015 when the TRC Report was released.
