I feel like we skipped over the ‘truth’ bit in Truth and Reconcilliation here.

    The question is, how necessary is it to verify that the graves of the missing children are at the specific locations pointed out by the radar and other scans? I would say “not very”, but I’m not someone whose opinion matters in this.

    Apparently, the Kamloops band, they were given the requested money three years ago but haven’t started excavating

    Within the T’Kemlups community, however, almost from the beginning there were serious misgivings about the way their story was being told. The 14 major families within the community made it known to Casimir early on that an excavation of the orchard site should begin as soon as possible. Three years and nearly $8 million in federal funding later, no excavation has occurred.

    Chief Casimir says the work being done is “in compliance with Secwépemc laws, legal traditions, worldviews, values and protocols.” However: “Our investigative findings and investigative steps are currently being kept confidential to preserve the integrity of the investigation.”

    Sounds like he used the outrage to steal the community’s money to me

      Or they’re still having an internal dispute and it’s moving at a glacial pace. It happens.
