Anyone denying residential school atrocities & demanding to see children’s bodies at school sites a) is deflecting from the issue; b) doesn’t understand science; and c) is macabre.
A little research of reputable work, human empathy, and active listening goes a long way.

Wow. I’m stunned. I’ve been getting LOTS of criticisms regarding Orange Shirt Day/RS graves, saying I’m perpetuating a lie to make White people feel guilty. They ask “Where are the bodies!” These people don’t understand- the whole country is an Indian burial ground.
Here's @solmamakwa speaking his language, Anishininiimowin, for the first time in the Ontario Legislature. @StanChoMPP @fordnation youtu.be/PTWd8g0MkP4?feature…

Lawyer Julian Falconer. “Why are these families being asked to trust the untrustable? They have nowhere else to turn.” He says a credible death in investigation requires timeliness and community trust. If no trust no access to witnesses, the Seven Youth Inquest was a result of tragedy - families have to send their children hundreds of miles for high school. He says we know what happened and how 145 recommendations that came out of the inquest, many targeted to Thunder Bay Police, yet nothing has happened.
