How Many More Indigenous Children Are Buried Near Canada's Residential Schools?
On this edition of Your Call, we're discussing the impact of Indian residential schools in Canada. Last month, a mass grave site of 215 Indigenous children was found at the site of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia. Between 1883 and 1996, an estimated 150,000 Indigenous children in Canada were forced to attend residential schools, mostly operated by churches. They wouldn't allow children to speak their native languages, see their families, or practice their cultural traditions. Indigenous communities are demanding investigations at every former school site.
