    1. There are mass unmarked graves being uncovered in Canada with the remains of Indigenous children forced into residential schools. There are likely many more of these, and the full scope of the story will take many years to process.https://twitter.com/ryanqnorth/status/1408085579607252995 …

    I'm not sure people outside of Canada (or even a lot of us in it) know what happened at the residential schools. It was abuse, rape, murder, and genocide Canada committed. 751 unmarked graves were found at a *single* school today. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/canada-residential-schools-kamloops-faq-1.6051632 … https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/cowessess-marieval-indian-residential-school-1.6078375 …

        2. The horrors of the mass graves is coupled with another story: of Indigenous resistance, of a multi-generation organizing effort against the schools, an effort now aimed at recovering historical memory.

        More evil is done in the name of religion than all other evil combined.

        America is too chicken to even look for remains, much less face what happened here.

        Yeah, I've very curious to know if there will be investigations at USA residential schools.

        I think it's better that we all skip waiting for the years and immediately come to the most sanctimonious and sweeping conclusions possible that support our personal positions.

        Yes, the thing to be angry at when you're uncovering the mass graves of stolen children is people being sanctimonious about it.

        Our education whitewashed the residential schools here. It wasn't til after that I learned how horrible they actually were. The 215 child mass graves were found in the city I lived in for 22 years. I knew our history was darker than we pretended, but that broke me.
