Why did 60 Minutes focus on Canada's history and not their countries own history regarding Indigenous Residential Schools? Canada has made far more efforts regarding education and Truth and Reconciliation for our Indigenous people than the US. Why are you not educating your citizens on the horrors that both countries inflicted on these children. It happened in the US as well. NBC News May 11, 2022, 12:00 PM EDT By Graham Lee Brewer At least 500 Native American, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian children died while attending Indian boarding schools run or supported by the U.S. government, a highly anticipated Interior Department report said Wednesday. The report identified over 400 schools and more than 50 gravesites and said more gravesites would likely be found. The report is the first time in U.S. history that the government has attempted to comprehensively research and acknowledge the magnitude of the horrors it inflicted on Native American children for decades. But it falls well short of some independent estimates of deaths and does not address how the children died or who was responsible. The report also sheds little new light on the physical and sexual abuse generations of Indigenous children endured at the schools, which were open for more than 150 years, starting in the early 1800s.
