Remains Of 215 Children Found At Indigenous School In Canada

In Canada, the remains of 215 children were discovered at a former Indigenous residential school site. This has prompted national mourning and a call for flags to be flown at half-mast. From the 19th century to the 1970s, over 150,000 Indigenous children were forced into state-funded Christian schools to assimilate them, leading to widespread abuse and deaths. The community is grieving, and the government, which apologized in 2008, is planning to identify and repatriate the remains.
