'Unmarked Indigenous Mass Grave' Detected Under 'Abusive Catholic Residential School' Excavated in Canada - Turns Out to Be Just Rocks
Information Liberation ^ | Aug. 20, 2023 | Chris Menahan

What was hyped as an "unmarked indigenous mass grave" detected using ground-penetrating radar under an "abusive" Catholic residential school in Manitoba turned out to be nothing but rocks after an extensive four-week excavation.

Indigenous groups in Canada used tales of "mass graves" and Catholic "abuse" of indigenous youths at residential schools to collect billions in reparations from Canadian taxpayers and have been reluctant to dig up any of the suspected "mass grave" sites detected with radar -- lest researchers' belief that the "graves" are actually just rocks and tree roots be confirmed.

They claimed digging up the suspected "mass grave" sites would trigger "intergenerational trauma" and disturb the dead.

Nonetheless, indigenous groups last month agreed to allow the excavation of a suspected mass grave site under the former Pine Creek Residential School in Manitoba.

"Spiritual advisers led a pipe ceremony when the search began and a sacred fire was lit nearby to ensure elders, survivors and intergenerational survivors felt supported," Canadian state broadcaster CBC reported.

"The First Nation, northwest of Winnipeg, hired an archeological team from the University of Brandon to do the excavation earlier this summer," CBC continued. "It is the same team that assists police on archeological digs and excavations in the province."

"No evidence of human remains" was found during the investigation, CBC reported.

"Fourteen anomalies were detected using ground-penetrating radar in the basement of the church on the site of the former Pine Creek Residential School last year," CBC said. "Survivors had spoken about 'horror stories' in the basement."

Chief Derek Nepinak of Minegoziibe Anishinabe said the revelation should take "nothing away from the difficult truths experienced by our families who attended the residential school in Pine Creek."

From CBC:

"As a community we were preparing for more than one possible outcome, which meant we would prepare for the worst but hope for the best," Nepinak said.

[...] Nepinak said he is aware the results will feed into a denialist narrative of what happened at residential schools and urged people to continue supporting the search for truth.

"The results of our excavation under the church should not be deemed as conclusive of other ongoing searches and efforts to identify reflections from other community processes including other (ground-penetrating radar) initiatives," Nepinak said. "The 200 'unmarked graves' in Kamloops, [British Columbia] were identified by the same technology that identified the 14 in Manitoba, which we now know turned out to be nothing more than a pile of rocks underground," The Counter Signal reports:

Even to this day, the CBC has been hellbent on perpetuating a 'mass graves' interpretation of said anomalies that have been detected at various former residential school sites.

The media's absolute worst interpretation of the anomalies inspired protests and terrorist arson across the country.

Since the mass graves announcement, at least 83 churches have been burned to the ground or vandalized.

"[T]o this day, no human remains have been found at any former residential school in Canada," The Counter Signal reports.

"Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau more than once made a point to bring attention to the [indigenous mass graves] hoax, and was infamously seen kneeling beside the so-called graves with a teddy bear in his hand," The Post Millennial reports.

"Prior to the excavation, Nepinak suggested dark intentions of the supposed culprits of the now debunked grave site at the church," TPM noted. "We understand that over time burial sites may be lost to the natural elements," [Nepinak] explained in an earlier press release. "But to bury remains under a building suggests a dark and sinister intent that cannot be unaddressed as we expose the truth of what happened in our homeland."

When are Canadian Catholics going to get reparations for all the churches left-wing/indigenous rights extremists burned down based on nonsense?

Exactly ! 100% staged and fake.

But Canada is so far gone that this guy as been re-elected twice.

The only party that opposed the corona/vax nonsense, after everyone knew the fakery and failure of vax vaccines and masks, in the Fall 2021 election, the People’s Party got FIVE PERCENT of the vote.

Propaganda works.

Leftie reporters love that stuff.

When I read the article about the GPR survey awhile ago I was taken aback by how it was written. Of course it was a reporter writing it and not the GPR guy. The GPR guy may have said “Anomalies are present in large amounts in this area and may indicate buried bodies, or other objects such as boulders, tree stumps or logs or other types of materials.”

And the reporter stopped at “human bodies”.

An old decayed body, even in a rotted out wooden casket is pretty much impossible to locate. One can locate the disturbed soils sometimes with GPR or other associated objects. Any children that would have died that long ago in a boarding school would probably just have been wrapped in a blanket and laid to rest. Probably no metal associated with such a burial, but sometimes there may be enough metal that using a metal detector helps.

And of course, you won’t find this anywhere on the CBC website.

Most people have no markers, or wood markers that deteriorate and disappear over time... This entire ‘unmarked’ native graves at Catholic orphanages is complete nonsense.

Absolutely nobody kept better records than the Catholic church... They record pretty much everything, including every baptism and every death. So the concept that they would take children, then murder them and throw them in unmarked graves is complete bunk, dreamt up by the children of many of these people who the priest and nuns where actually helping... Taking them away from their drunken relatives and broken homes and offering them a steady and stable learning environment, with food, clothing and a roof over their heads.

Not a big deal, and just collateral damage for the Anti-Catholic bigots.

Never let the actual truth interfere with "your truth".

The idea the Natives revere their dead is an idea from a bygone era. I was a young missionary on an Indian reservation in Alberta in 1968. There was an old dilapidated log cabin on one reserve where we discovered a pine coffin, open, with a complete skeleton inside. None of the Indians knew who it was or how long it had been there. My guess was between 60 and 100 years. Not exactly a sense of reverence.

Absolutely. some kids died of various diseases back then and it was illegal to ship a contaminated body back home.
There is a Facebook page that exposes many of these hoaxes.

And here is a response that may be made to this report:
Obviously Catholic voodoo turned the bodies into rocks to hide their guilt. Good future thinking on the part of those priests and nuns back in the 1800s. Please note this is SCARCASM.

"We did some GPR in a local cemetery."
When I was growing up in the 1930s, there was a very old, (18th Century, old for US) Catholic cemetery across the street. A grave digger showed me a silver coffin handle he had just dug up. He didn't tell me what else he had dug up. There are forgotten graves even official old cemeteries.
