An Indigenous community announced the discovery during a search of more than 750 anonymous graves at a boarding school in western Canada, a new image of Golgotha ​​suffered for decades by indigenous children in Catholic-run schools.

The Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trindade expressed his “pain” and said that Canada must “learn from its past and move forward on the common path of reconciliation.”

He said “the pain and trauma you feel is a responsibility that Canada has to bear.”

It is a “crime against humanity,” denounced Bobby Cameron, head of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Peoples of Saskatchewan.

Last month, the discovery of the bones of 215 children near another indigenous institution had already injured and angered the country.

The findings are reminiscent of the trauma experienced by 150,000 children of Indians, Mixes and Inuit (Canadian Eskimos), cut off from their families, their language and culture, and forcibly recruited by the 1990s in 139 of them. boarding schools across the country.

Some of them were abused and sexually abused and more than 4,000 died there, according to a commission of inquiry that concluded it was a real “cultural genocide” by Canada.
