Naive question: Why aren't the people who ran these schools, that were responsible - why aren't they being brought to court? Is it a matter of too late? Most have died or too old? Is there no way the Churches involved can be held accountable via court or government?
We learned about this shit in our school textbooks, native children not coming home to their parents after being sent off to school...
Just imagine that as a parent. Forcibly sending off your children to be indoctrinated into a different religion and then some of those children not ever returning.
Canada has had the receipts for a long time, we just didn't do anything when it mattered and now that there is cold hard evidence we've got no way of giving those children and their families any sort of retribution.
The people in power just got the fuck away with it..

The degree of fury required for Canadians to do such a thing is staggering.
