There Has Been No Police Investigation Into These Allegations
It’s been almost three years since the world was rocked with the news that the unmarked graves of as many as 215 children may have been identified by ground penetrating radar (GPR) next to a former Indian Residential School in Kamloops, B.C.
Despite the horrific nature of the alleged crimes, and despite the pain and division since the findings of the GPR survey were released last May, no effort appears to have been made to verify the findings.
It’s sad to conceive, but some activists don’t want to see excavations not because they fear that bodies will be found, but because they fear they won’t. They don’t want to see a narrative shattered.
Whatever one may hope to see from it, the need to excavate the Kamloops residential school site remains. It’s appalling and wrong that we are allowing this to be delayed any further.
