Official narrative
Wikipedia's estimate of "at least 4,000 children died" seems incredibly low considering the evidence presented by Annett, who suggests that 50,000-100,000 may be more realistic figure.
Exposure
| Canada's Dark Secret - Al Jazeera |
More than anyone else, Rev. Kevin Annett has been instrumental in exposing the tens of thousands of native Canadians killed by the genocidal policies of the utterly racist white establishment.
Apology
Prompted largely by the publicity raised by Kevin Annett's film, 2007 Unrepentant, on June 11, 2008 a public apology was offered by Prime Minister Stephen Harper on behalf of the Government of Canada and by the leaders of all the other parties in the Canadian House of Commons.
Truth and Reconciliation Commission
Nine days prior, the Indian Residential Schools Truth and Reconciliation Commission was established, supposedly to uncover the truth about the schools. Annett suggests it is a damage limitation exercise.
Indian residential schools
The especially established Indian residential schools practised a policy of germ warfare, beatings, and intimidation and by that enabled an unofficial policy of extermination against native children that were taken against their will from their parents; it was a continuation of the Indian Wars across America from 17th century.
Kamloops Indian Residential School
In 2021 a ground-penetrating radar located the remains of 215 First Nations children in a unmarked mass grave on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. It was operated by the catholic "Missionary of Oblates of Mary Immaculate".[1][2]
Marieval Indian Residential School
In 2021 remains of more than 700 dead children were found Marieval Indian Residential School in southeastern Saskatchewan. It was operated by the Roman Catholic Church from 1899 to 1997.[3][4]
