First Nations didn\u0027t claim there were deliberately hidden \u0027mass graves.\u0027 Media and activists did.
The events of 2021 all kicked off with a May 27 press release from Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc announcing that a radar survey near the former Kamloops Indian Residential School had found “confirmation of the remains of 215 children.”
“Although these findings are tragic, they are still undergoing analysis and the history of this area is a complex one,” cautioned one When the Cowessess First Nation in Saskatchewan announced a survey showing 751 unmarked graves near the site of the former Marieval Indian Residential School, Chief Cadmus Delorme was careful about saying they were not a mass grave. Rather, these were plots within a larger Catholic cemetery whose headstones Delorme said had been removed by Catholic authorities. “This is not a mass grave site. These are unmarked graves,”A leaked internal email by the Penelakut Tribe of B.C.

Their coverage of the T’kemlups surveyIn the weeks that followed, other international press reports would similarly misrepresent the four surveys, often framing them as confirmed, clandestine burials of dead children. “Over 600 bodies found at Indigenous school in Canada,” read theon the Cowessess announcement. “Mass grave with remains of 215 children found at Indigenous school in Canada,” wrote USA Today.
