Hoax? Churches in Canada Burned Over Claims of Indian Mass Graves at ‘Residential Schools’ but Searches Have Found No Remains

Two years ago, stories in Canada surfaced about supposed mass graves on the grounds of a Catholic school in British Columbia that closed in the 1970s and at other locations.

The liberal media and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau embraced the stories without evidence.

This is a 2021 report from the BBC:

Canada mourns as remains of 215 children found at indigenous school

Unmarked graves containing the remains of 215 children have been found in Canada at a former residential school set up to assimilate indigenous people.

The children were students at the Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia that closed in 1978.

The discovery was announced on Thursday by the chief of the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it was a “painful reminder” of a “shameful chapter of our country’s history”.

The First Nation is working with museum specialists and the coroner’s office to establish the causes and timings of the deaths, which are not currently known.

Rosanne Casimir, the chief of the community in British Columbia’s city of Kamloops, said the preliminary finding represented an unthinkable loss that was never documented by the school’s administrators.

Outrage over this story led to the targeting of Catholic churches.

54 Catholic churches burned or vandalized in Canada.

“I understand the anger that’s out there against the Catholic Church. It is real, and it’s fully understandable, given the shameful history."#JustinTrudeau

Pope Francis even apologized for the church over this.

There’s just one problem. No remains have been found.

The New York Post reports:

No human remains found 2 years after claims of ‘mass graves’ in Canada

After two years of horror stories about the alleged mass graves of Indigenous children at residential schools across Canada, a series of recent excavations at suspected sites has turned up no human remains.

Some academics and politicians say it’s further evidence that the stories are unproven.

Minegoziibe Anishinabe, a group of indigenous people also known as Pine Creek First Nation, excavated 14 sites in the basement of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows Catholic Church near the Pine Creek Residential School in Manitoba during four weeks this summer.

The so-called “anomalies” were first detected using ground-penetrating radar, but on Aug. 18, Chief Derek Nepinak of remote Pine Creek Indian Reserve said no remains were found.

He also referred to the effort as the “initial excavation,” leading some who were skeptical of the original claims to think even more are planned.

“I don’t like to use the word hoax because it’s too strong but there are also too many falsehoods circulating about this issue with no evidence,” Jacques Rouillard, a professor emeritus in the Department of History at the Université de Montréal, told The Post Wednesday.

I can’t help but think of all the times that college campuses have been thrown into an uproar over graffiti or even just a rumor that turned out to be a hoax.

In many of those cases, lives were destroyed before anything was even verified.

Will anyone be held accountable in this case? I doubt it.
