If the money keeps flowing, there’s no stopping the lucrative search for bodiless burial sites

The following opinion piece written by yours truly was first published on September 16, 2022.

It reveals the lack of proof that students who died while registered as students at an Indian Residential School (IRS), most of whom passed away in their home communities or at the hospital where they were sent when they became too ill to be treated in their school’s infirmary, were not properly buried according the church rites associated with their school’s religious denomination, or that their death certificates were neither signed nor recorded by the proper authorities, or that their next of kin were not informed of their demise in a timely fashion.

Nor is there evidence other than mischievous speculation rooted in ghost stories or groundless conspiracy theories of a single child murdered and tossed into an unmarked grave in the dead of night at any government-supported IRS during their 113-year period of operation.

Still, as long as the money keeps flowing, there will be no incentive to stop this lucrative scavenger hunt for burial sites containing no bodies.
