      In 2021, the remains of 215 children in unmarked graves were found at the site of a residential school in Kamloops. This sparked a movement that popularized Orange Shirt Day and led to its becoming a federal holiday, now known as Truth and Reconciliation day.

      The ‘hoax’ part, as I understand it, comes from the fact that people misunderstood and thought the children’s remains were found in mass graves, which is untrue. Makes no sense to me because it shouldn’t really matter whether the graves were individual or mass, the fact is 215 children never got to go home.

      Remains of 215 children found buried at former B.C. residential school, First Nation says

          Nope wrong. It’s in living memory and the genocidal practices in those schools are still being remediated and suffered under.

          It has ongoing financial, cultural, and health effects. The schools closed but the effects persist. IT’S NOT OVER FFS

              So slavery, which is still going on now by the way, is okay? Do I have that right? That’s your thesis?

                idk what you’re talking about. but there’s no changing things that happened a long time ago. just ask the dinos ; there are still meteors going on today.

                  Who was saying anything about changing? They asked you if slavery is okay and you said yes.
