Children were not murdered at Indigenous residential schools and the entire story of 215 graves found in Kamloops is a hoax. Many Indigenous leaders and communities supported or requested schooling, including forms of residential education, specifically to give children skills for a changing world (literacy, farming, trades, English). The numbered treaties of the 1870s included education provisions that Indigenous negotiators sought so their children could acquire the “learning of the white man.” Historical accounts (including works by J.R. Miller and treaty records) show chiefs requesting teachers and schools for practical adaptation after traditional economies were disrupted. Now pass this bill and arrest me. I’d love to present evidence of all this in court.
