Kamloops Indian Residential school
Associated Press – May 2021
The remains of 215 children, some as young as 3 years old, have been found buried on the site of what was once Canada’s largest Indigenous residential school — one of the institutions that held children taken from families across the nation.
Chief Rosanne Casimir of the Tk’emlups te Secwépemc First Nation said in a news release that the remains were confirmed last weekend with the help of ground-penetrating radar.
More bodies may be found because there are more areas to search on the school grounds, Casimir said Friday.
In an earlier release, she called the discovery an “unthinkable loss that was spoken about but never documented at the Kamloops Indian Residential School.”
From the 19th century until the 1970s, more than 150,000 First Nations children were required to attend state-funded Christian schools as part of a program to assimilate them into Canadian society. They were forced to convert to Christianity and not allowed to speak their native languages. Many were beaten and verbally abused, and up to 6,000 are said to have died.
The Canadian government apologized in Parliament in 2008 and admitted that physical and sexual abuse in the schools was rampant. Many students recall being beaten for speaking their native languages; they also lost touch with their parents and customs.
Indigenous leaders have cited that legacy of abuse and isolation as the root cause of epidemic rates of alcoholism and drug addiction on reservations.
A report more than five years ago by a Truth and Reconciliation Commission said at least 3,200 children had died amid abuse and neglect, and it said it had reports of at least 51 deaths at the Kamloops school alone between 1915 and 1963.
“This really resurfaces the issue of residential schools and the wounds from this legacy of genocide towards Indigenous people,” Terry Teegee, Assembly of First Nations regional chief for British Colombia, said Friday.
British Columbia Premier John Horgan said he was “horrified and heartbroken” to learn of the discovery, calling it a tragedy of “unimaginable proportions” that highlights the violence and consequences of the residential school system.
The Kamloops school operated between 1890 and 1969, when the federal government took over operations from the Catholic Church and operated it as a day school until it closed in 1978.
Casimir said it’s believed the deaths are undocumented, although a local museum archivist is working with the Royal British Columbia Museum to see if any records of the deaths can be found.
“Given the size of the school, with up to 500 students registered and attending at any one time, we understand that this confirmed loss affects First Nations communities across British Columbia and beyond,” Casimir said in the initial release issued late Thursday.
The leadership of the Tk’emlups community “acknowledges their responsibility to caretake for these lost children,” Casimir said.
Access to the latest technology allows for a true accounting of the missing children and will hopefully bring some peace and closure to those lives lost, she said in the release.
Casimir said band officials are informing community members and surrounding communities that had children who attended the school.
The First Nations Health Authority called the discovery of the remains “extremely painful” and said in a website posting that it “will have a significant impact on the Tk’emlúps community and in the communities served by this residential school.”
The authority’s CEO, Richard Jock, said the discovery “illustrates the damaging and lasting impacts that the residential school system continues to have on First Nations people, their families and communities,.”
Nicole Schabus, a law professor at Thompson Rivers University, said each of her first-year law students at the Kamloops university spends at least one day at the former residential school speaking with survivors about conditions they had endured.
She said she did not hear survivors talk about an unmarked grave area, “but they all talk about the kids who didn’t make it.”

Timed to coincide with the “paltry numbers of children killed by the Jews in Palestine”.
These news releases somehow always show up when the Jews are massacring more Palestinians??!.
It is rather like Mel Gibstein making headline news being nasty to Jews….took the spotlight off what was happening in Israel.
Gibson a Hollywood film producer is a Marrano Catholic….that is a crypto jew…..otherwise he would have been prevented from working in movies…..simple.
That school needs to be burnt to the ground. Place a memorial stone to those children there.

As the russian armies marched into Germany at the wars end
rapes of German women was considered part of the punishment
One russian army stopped at a nunnery and the Russian commander acting under the orders from Stalin
demanded all the nuns urn out to satisfy his men
One nun was 81 years old, many wee raped to death.
” nuns were brought to the UK by the Red cross
They ran St Marys TC convent school orphanage in shernhall st east london
These nuns hated small boys and many were beaten daily, this was children from the age of 5
A lot of children went missing and were said by children at the orphanage to be buried in the sports field
Sister peter the nun in charge was evil, whether it was the mass rape by the russians no one know
but after the nearby church of St Georges was burnt down an enquiry by the church was damning of sister peter and the nuns treatment of small children
The orphanage changed its name, but there are said to be many bodies under the sports field of orphans from the war
THE RED INDIAN HOLOCAUST
Rothschild put JP Morgan as his front man to move the
indians off the land, Rothschild wanted the mineral lumber water
and precious metal rights
not many people know that Rothschild sets the price of Precious metals
which is why his New Labour Traitor Gay Gordon Brown was made Prime Minister.
Men were paid to be ” buffalo hunters” and shot thousands of buffalo
on which the indians lived.
JP as he was known was working for Rothschild and pushed through railroads
and allowed in settlers and the men to start gold rushes.
This was not done by white men
but it was the plunder of the jew.

First Nation uber alles–hard luck. You were not the first and not the best, just drifted in from Asia and eventually wrecked civilisation. We are not forgetting Aztec sadism, for a start. It is only PC tyranny that enables the term First Nation, while “Aryan Supremacy” is super-naughty. As for the bodies, it is their problem, but Whitey is asked to sort it out.
“For 15 years, a defrocked United Church Minister, Kevin Annett, 51, has led an heroic crusade to make the church admit that as many as 50,000 Indian children may have been murdered in residential schools and hospitals funded by the Canadian government and run by the United, Anglican and Catholic Churches.”
“Kevin Annett is a renowned global human rights campaigner, author and whistle blower who has led the movement to expose and prosecute child murder by church and state, in Canada and Europe. Kevin is the co-founder of The International Tribunal of Crimes of Church and State. He has been twice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.”

Then, elsewhere, searching only for “Kevin Annett” you’ll also find disinfo, misdirection, and lies. Reminds me of the COVID scamdemic, continuing. The true battlefield is your mind! Discernment!
Whether this institution attracted a few perverts and pedophiles as all institutions serving children appear to do even today, would be no surprise. Maybe they died of TB or maybe some were even murdered. We do not know. However, what I know living in the same province is that my RC faith is a distinct small minority faith and that the province has always been run by Masons with a distinct anti-Catholic bias. I ask why not equal attention to all of the schools of the past, and if there were proportionately far more such schools as well as hospitals in the province which had RC origins and were supported by RC charities, then why was that?
The native people in North America certainly had a rough go it at the hands of the Whiteman, but not due to the sentiments, morals and beliefs of those in most Christian denominations, including my own. Rather, it has always been that in the face of enormous secular bigotry as clearly, seen when you read what was written in the 19th and 20th century, the only restraining force to the abuses, and efforts to improve native conditions came from priests, nuns, ministers, and volunteers from a number of the denominations. Lincoln, who believed in God and Providence, was well versed in the Bible, and attended Episcopal services with his wife, as far as we know he did not actually become a Christian before he died. However, as the civil war progressed he was certainly moving in that direction. He was NOT a Mason, which at least to me explains a great deal. During the later years of that war, his government was also opening up the West, and the issue of what to do with Plains Indians arose. Lincoln said that there were two views which he had to contend with – one was the view that the natives should be experimented, and the other view was what Lincoln called “the more Christian view” which was that they should be put on reservations.
It is difficult for our very pampered and brainwashed generations to really understand what the thinking of our ancestors actually was. They were a far harder working people than we are and they were also far more Christian in many respects. That they were far more racially and ethnically prejudiced than we are is a given. In any case if not for Christians believing that all people were children of God and that Jesus had come not just to save the Whiteman, the natives of North America would likely have been exterminated like the Brit establishment did in Newfoundland and with the Huron in Ontario and Quebec who got in their way. As for those reservations which the naïve people of today like to complain about, what would have happened if there were no schools, if we just had left them? The intention of the educators despite any hidden abuse in their midst from evil doers, was to enable the natives to learn English and other skills to integrate into our cavitation. However, even when there were natives who excelled in their studies and went into professions like medicine, the bigotry of our ancestors ruled and integration was very difficult.
My own mother after graduating from nursing school volunteered and was made a head nurse in one of the hospitals serving a large reservation. What these people and particularly the nuns did was to help the natives and they did. If the natives people would look for the whole truth instead of being played by Masons and secular humanists, playing the “there is no business like Sheol business” card, for money, things could be put in proper perspective. By the way, there are still reservations all through Canada but the government is playing a different game, which is to ruin the people through welfare.
Isn’t it odd that ground-penetrsting radar works in Canada, on Indians, but mom on Jews supposedly buried outside concentration camps in Europe?
Isn’t it odd how the Canadian PM, Mr. Castro says, “we are sorry, ” so he can blame YOU?
No surprise. Jersey Childrens home, Irish orphanages.
Before and for while after WW2, a major British childrens charity exported children to Canada, where they were sold like cattle.
who wants to be born again
in this hell, what was + will be ?
The Chinese helped build the American railways, but I cannot remember anything the people already here did to help. We just got hostility and complaining, right up to today.

Correction to the above
” Lincoln said that there were two views which he had to contend with – one was the view that the natives should be “exterminated” (not “experimented”), and the other view was what Lincoln called “the more Christian view” which was that they should be put on reservations.
