Canadians demand action from officials as country mourns discovery of a mass grave of children's remains

Leaders from the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc community in the southern interior of British Columbia, where the school was located, said that there are far more questions than answers so far regarding the discovery.

The commission report determined that at least 4,000 children died of disease, neglect, accidents or abuse while at these schools. Canada's National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations Perry Bellegarde said Indigenous survivors have been saying this for years and have not been believed."If this happened in Kamloops, it happened in all the residential schools," Bellegarde said during a news conference in Ottawa on Monday.

This is a school only. How about the other residence or rural areas?

Shame on those who did this, and those who covered it up.
