The discovery of the remains of 215 children at the site of a former school in British Columbia shocked Canadians in May. The bodies belonged to Indigenous children as young as three years old who had attended Canada's state-sponsored "residential school" system.
The schools, which were spread across the country, were designed to eradicate Indigenous peoples' culture and languages.

The findings have refocused the world's attention on this heinous chapter in Canadian history, left deep wounds in hundreds of communities, and sparked new calls for justice against the Canadian government and the churches that ran the schools for decades.

As of September 2021, more than 1300 unmarked graves have been found across the sites of five former residential schools.It drew attention to one of the most heinous chapters in that country's history.
