CNN picked it up. It's still a story. But it does make me wonder what meaningful change will actually happen while this still has momentum.

:eng101: "Mass graves" refers to large pits of corpses buried together, usually in a short period of time, suggesting disease or genocide, and "unmarked graves" would refer to bodies buried at different times without records, suggesting deaths spaced apart!*

*: Neither are cemeteries.

and importantly, none of the gravesites found so far (at least that I have heard about) have been mass graves but are collections of unmarked graves, so it fits the neglect, lack of healthcare and individual abuse models survivors have described quite well.

Exactly. Like, either way large amounts of bodies without records is a bad look, but unmarked graves are almost certainly indicative of systematic neglect/murder, and probably deliberate.

What happened to those kids is horrific and wrong. there is no excusing it, and there should absolutely be repercussions for anyone alive who took part in/ran the system. going forward, people should be educated on how this system came to be and why. HOWEVER; calling these unmarked graves “Mass Graves” is misleading and evokes something more like Rwanda. you know, actual, racial mass murder genocide with people being dragged out of their homes and being murdered by a mob.

yes, in canada's case the mob was simply the federal government and it was all much less dramatic

our actual racial mass murder genocide was done in a thoroughly bureaucratic way, that took decades to achieve the same results, so it's hardly a fair comparison

it's true, they did not, the language of their second to last sentence merely implied that it was not, in some unspecified fashion, as much of a genocide as the one in rwanda. how or why this is relevant is left as an exercise for the reader

yes, like that. i mean, who even knows how many of those kids were "murdered" as opposed to simply dying due to neglect or misadventure? we'll just call them church involved deaths

You're right, people being dragged out of their homes and being murdered by a mob happened before the residential schools.

look, using the term genocide implies that i should in some way feel bad about it happening, can we just call it something else so people don't think it was like those other genocides that happened elsewhere that were just absolutely awful and a mark of shame on the nations and peoples who perpetrated them?

"Don't feed the outrage machine" is said, as these people have had their culture beaten out of them.

"its not real genocide" is said, when at least one out of twenty Indigenous children were murdered under the guide of the government.

Evoking language that we used during Rwanda, to talk about what happened here, maybe isn't super helpful as there are a LOT of people that already don't recognize this as a problem (ie. that blue check mark idiot.) Giving the impression that we are talking about bulldozing machine gun victims or roving gangs with machetes just gives them a reason to tune this out.

That said, I haven't seen the media talking about mass graves at all so this is the blue check mark evoking it himself to dismiss the entire thing. Why he is doing that is also left as an exercise for the reader.

Hope that doesn't make me a genocide denier too.

it was absolutely a genocide in which children were neglected to death, or outright deliberately killed, and buried in unmarked graves, and if this upsets you, good

the thing about needing to differentiate between genocides is that it's generally driven by the desire to minimize what's happened here in canada. whether the children were machine gunned into a ditch or died over several decades because of the machinations of the residential school system isn't actually relevant to it being a genocide, these 160 children are just as dead as if we had gassed them, and they're dead because of who they were and who their parents were.
