Not digging into the subject is the very definition of what has happened since these 'graves' were first researched. At no point have any graves been discovered, despite the schools being slandered as literal death camps, and the media claiming that tens of thousands have been 'found'. Not 2800. It seemed like every week in 2020, there would be a new "report" of "150" or "300" or "possibly 500 to 1000" mass graves found, all of them were false. ALL OF THEM. The closest anyone came was finding a settler cemetery that had been covered over, and was filled with locals.
The fact that almost no digging took place is the problem. When digging did take place? No graves were found. Sometimes it was just air pockets, sometimes it was just construction debris. Sometimes it was nothing at all.
And for that, the state, and even Civil Rights organizations openly supported a terrorist campaign against Catholics. Even when the Catholics being targeted, were the natives who'd run the residential schools for 40 years.
This has been a full on moral panic since 2020, and it has no evidence behind it. There is no evidence, and never has been, that the residential schools were death camps.
The strongest case is that the residential schools were intended to eliminate native culture by homogenizing Indian children, and that in some cases kids died of things like polio. This happened in the US too.
