There is no reconciliation without truth
Five years after the announcement of possible unmarked graves at the Kamloops Indian Residential School, no human remains have been confirmed. Despite this, it is acknowledged that a significant number of Indigenous children died at residential schools due to systemic abuse and neglect. The media's initial reporting on the discovery has faced criticism for lacking scrutiny and accuracy.
