Hey remember when they found over 200 bodies of native children buried behind a residential school and the world cared for... what, a week?

They've counted about 6,000-7,000 now, for those of you who do still care

[dragonladdie]

It should NOT fall on Indigenous people's shoulders to keep this known still. We’ve been doing that for generations at this point and NO ONE wants to listen to us.

We’re tired, mourning and constantly reopening our trauma and pain to keep people caring about us. It’s terrible.

I should start by noting that I am white, and not Canadian, and that if op wants me to remove this comment for any reason, please let me know.

This is a map of all the residential schools in Canada:

[link to the article it’s attached to, it’s interactable there, so you can get a better look around]

Each dot on this map represents a residential school. Blue dots mean the school is considered completely searched. Yellow dots mean they are either in the process of being searched or there are plans to be searched. Red dots indicate that no search has happened and that no search is currently planned

There were more than 130 residential schools in Canada. This map suggests that only six have been fully searched, and a little more than a dozen partially searched (I counted 15 yellow dots). That leaves at least 109 schools completely untouched.

Let that sink in; if 6,000-7,000 unmarked, indigenous children’s graves were found by searching less than a fifth of all the schools, how many are still undiscovered.

Wikipedia estimates that the body count could be over 50,000, and honestly, that could be a low estimate

Residential schools were also common in the US. Although the programs were generally called “Indian boarding schools,” they had the same violently abusive christian framework, many many children died or disappeared in them, and those who survived were left with generations of trauma.

There were at least 367 in 29 US states, and while they were operated with state and federal funds from the 1820s to the 1960s, the total number of children who were taken has never been fully accounted for. In 1925 over 80% of school-age Native children in the US were enrolled in a residential school, about 61 thousand (stats via National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition).

A few of them are starting to be searched for children’s graves as well. 182 were discovered on the former site of the Albuquerque Indian School.

Hey, I want to stress to everyone that even searching the schools will still not recover all the lost. That blue dot in Nova Scotia? That’s Shubenacadie Residential School. Shubie is next to a large river. I’ve heard folks say they disposed of the deceased by washing them down that river. I’m inclined to believe it.

How many schools did not bury their dead on site? How many  children will never be found? That is also important to remember.
