O<\/span>n May 27, 2021, the Tk\u2019emlups te Secwepemc First Nation announced the supposed discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves at a Native American residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia. Specifically, Chief Rosanne Casimir claimed the discovery of the \u201cremains of 215 children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Canada convulsed in horror. Flags were lowered to half-mast for five months straight. One First Nation group after another came forward claiming they had discovered hundreds more unmarked graves. At one site in Saskatchewan where it was claimed 751 children had been found buried, then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau placed a teddy bear in memorial of the children. The government threw $320 million into a \u201cResidential Schools Missing Children Community Support Fund.\u201d<\/p>\n

The claims of unmarked mass graves were evidenced only by the use of ground-penetrating radar. But this, as Canadian journalist Jonathan Kay has explained, well exceeds the actual capacities of ground-penetrating radar.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Kay wrote, \u201cCredulous reporters seem to have been unaware that [ground-penetrating radar] landscape surveys do not directly indicate graves, much less bodies or skeletons. Rather, they indicate soil dislocations that can be generated by numerous artefacts, including old pipes and tree roots.\u201d Only through excavation can it be determined what underground anomalies are actually being detected, explained Kay.<\/p>\n

So far, an excavation has been performed at only one claimed site of unmarked graves, and the result was that no graves were discovered.<\/p>\n

Yet the progressive establishment in Canada has insisted with lockstep force that ground-penetrating radar proves a genocide was committed at the country\u2019s residential schools.<\/p>\n

Kimberly Murray, who was appointed the \u201cIndependent Special Interlocutor for Missing Children and Unmarked Graves and Burial Sites associated with Indian Residential Schools\u201d by Trudeau\u2019s government, in the introduction to her official report that Indian residential schools were \u201cgenocidal institutions\u201d that were \u201cplaces of silence, suffering, brutal violence, and death.\u201d In fact, she said they were the site of \u201ccrimes against humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n

This myth of \u201cgenocide\u201d at residential schools persists despite the fact that no actual evidence has been presented of unmarked graves, most Native parents voluntarily signed their children up for residential schools, residential schools had better rates of success than day schools, and academic study has found better health conditions at such schools than on reservations.<\/p>\n

Yet the Canadian government under Trudeau chose to attack skeptics as liars who are harming Native \u201cSurvivors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately,\u201d Murray, \u201ca small but vocal group of denialists have gone so far as to attack the credibility of Survivors, Indigenous families, and communities, claiming that there are no missing and disappeared children and no unmarked burials. They use media and manipulate historical evidence to influence bystanders and sway public opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Murray\u2019s final 2024 report, which is divided into four parts, the word \u201cgenocide\u201d is used an incredible 741 times.<\/p>\n

Trudeau\u2019s \u201cIndependent Special Interlocutor\u201d is far from the only one who has sought to silence public debate on this issue. In 2022, Leah Gazan, a member of Parliament from the New Democratic Party, introduced a bill that would criminalize \u201cwilfully promoting hatred against Indigenous peoples by condoning, denying, downplaying or justifying the Indian residential school system in Canada through statements communicated other than in private conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bill was tabled, but she hasn\u2019t given up. She has now introduced the bill again and is actively trying to pass it.<\/p>\n

Last month, Gazan claimed that \u201cdenialism\u201d has increased in recent years.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the discovery of the unmarked graves, it\u2019s increased and it\u2019s become pretty violent,\u201d Gazan said. \u201cIt\u2019s at a level where it\u2019s really unsafe.\u201d<\/p>\n

How exactly such skepticism is \u201cviolent,\u201d Gazan did not say.<\/p>\n

But the news source IndigiNews<\/em> published an account last month from \u201cSecw\u00e9pemc artist and community organizer Shay Paul\u201d showing that Gazan is not alone in her feelings.<\/p>\n

Paul said that she read \u201cdenialism\u201d on Facebook one morning and described it as follows: \u201cIt was slandering and dragging my leadership through the mud. It was very vocal threats of violence in my own community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEverywhere I looked on social media, it was in my face for like a week,\u201d she said. \u201cI didn\u2019t feel safe here.\u201d<\/p>\n

But five years later, there is hope that truth will win out over demanded assent to unproven assertions.<\/p>\n

In recognition of the anniversary of the discovery of the \u201cgraves\u201d at Kamloops, Canada\u2019s Globe and Mail<\/em>\u00a0editorial board wrote May 30 that there had been a \u201cfailure of journalism\u201d in reporting \u201cmass graves\u201d at the site. The media, it said, had \u201csimply stated as fact\u201d that 215 children\u2019s remains had been found.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact of the crimes committed against Indigenous children at residential schools over many decades does not automatically validate claims that hundreds of students were dumped into unmarked graves in Kamloops and other residential schools,\u201d the editorial said, adding, \u201cThat is an extraordinary assertion, one that requires proof.\u201d<\/p>\n

To its credit, Canada\u2019s National Post<\/em>\u00a0has also adjusted its coverage in recent years to acknowledge the lack of actual evidence that there are any unmarked graves.<\/p>\n
