Canada: Hundreds of unmarked graves found at residential school
I&#x27;m mad as hell about this. My father was the executive director of Anishinaabe Community Counseling, a mental health services non-profit set up by the federal and provincial government in North Western Ontario. I spent a lot of time on and around the reserves, and it&#x27;s not like this stuff was unknown. People told stories often about the residential schools, people wouldn&#x27;t go near certain areas because they knew what was there. I can&#x27;t believe I&#x27;m saying this, but as a Canadian I would echo Chinas call for a full human rights inquiry at the international level. If Canada is seriously about truth and reconciliation, we need to do more than just continue to publish reports acknowledging the wrongs committed, we need real change in Canadian society. The recommendations put forward by the government never go far enough, and frankly, the Indian Act is stain on our country.
