'Many Indigenous children who died and were buried at Indian residential schools are not missing but are "victims of enforced disappearance," says Kimberly Murray.
Murray, who is Special Interlocutor for Missing Children and Unmarked Graves and Burial Sites associated with Indian Residential Schools, released her final report at a ceremony Tuesday in Gatineau, Que.
It outlines 42 "legal, moral and ethical obligations" of governments, churches, and other institutions in regards to children who did not return from the schools, including that Canada must provide full reparations to families of missing and disappeared children.'

@RadicalAnthro hey, did you see anything in any of the docs (or elsewhere) going over how many actual bodies have been found so far at the schools (as opposed to "potential bodies" via ground scans)? they must have excavated some places at least by now.
have had family members claim they found much of it was not actual human remains let alone children who can be shown to have had violent deaths, but i am having trouble finding the records that would disprove (or prove) what theyre saying one way or another.
@sabbatical you are engaging in residential school denialism?
This is discussion between experts

@RadicalAnthro haha what? relatives of mine were in the schools and would likely be among the dead. sorry i asked
@RadicalAnthro i think i can understand your reaction now that i read it over again. i reacted emotionally, so instead i'll answer in good faith: no, i'm not wanting to deny anything. it's important the truth is told, evidence gathered, facts found, questions answered. doing otherwise not only gives ammunition to those who would rather be able to dismiss what happened, it cheapens the real harms that were done.
