Canada was recently rocked by the discovery of the unmarked graves of 215 children at the Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia. Soon after, it was announced that there were a further 104 unmarked child graves at the Brandon Residential School Site here in Manitoba, while many other discoveries announced soon after. For many Indigenous peoples, however, the “discovery” of these graves was not a surprise. Indigenous communities have known about the atrocities that were committed at residential schools for years, with many community members having witnessed them firsthand during their time at these institutions. For decades, community members spoke of these mass graves, but it was not until they began taking it into their own hands to uncover them that people believed them.
