The Hidden Shame of Colonialism
On May 28th,2021 the first unmarked graves of children of Indian Residential Schools were discovered in Kamloops, BC, and the truth came to light. The claims of Canadian Indigenous Peoples were not just made-up stories. The voices of those buried children have cried out for all the world to hear. We can never make this right. But we can acknowledge this happened. We can promise to do better in the future. We can support and encourage the reclamation of their languages and cultures.
