Residential Schools: Canada’s Shame

On October 27, 2022, Canada’s parliament unanimously recognised the country’s residential school system as genocide. More than 150,000 Indigenous children were forcibly taken from their homes between the 1880s and late 1990s, and placed in distant schools where they were stripped of their identity.

First Nation in B.C. says 158 children died at three residential school sites, hospital

An investigation into unmarked graves and missing children by the Sto:lo Nation in British Columbia has revealed at least 158 deaths, most of them at an Indigenous hospital.

The nation’s researchers say archival documents regarding residential schools in Mission, Sardis and Yale, as well as the Coqualeetza hospital, suggest 96 children died at the hospital of diseases like tuberculosis.

Others died from accidents and some causes of death are unknown.

The investigation has spanned 18 months but officials said Thursday this is just the beginning. The nation has received about half of 70,000 possible documents, with access hampered by Ottawa and religious institutions involved in the schools.
