“We began the surveys on June 2 and as of yesterday we found 751 anonymous graves”, he said. Cadmus Delorme, head of the Cowessess community, during a press conference. “It is not a mass grave – he specified – it is graves without names”.
Canada’s shame: “Here are the mass graves of indigenous children”
by Enrico Franceschini
Up until the 1990s, about 150,000 indigenous children were forcibly taken to 139 pensioners across the country, torn from their families of origin and their culture. According to a commission of inquiry, many of them have been subjected to maltreatment and sexual abuse and over four thousand have died. At the beginning of June Pope francesco spoke on the first discovery, expressing his pain and urging the political and religious authorities of Canada to continue “to collaborate with determination to shed light on that sad story and humbly commit to a path of reconciliation and healing”.
