— that it almost always sees the light of day. Sometimes it takes a while, but you can usually depend on it happening regardless of how hard, or how often, it gets lied about.
Aboriginal group releases list of mass graves
Sylvester Greene says he and three others were hired by a minister at the United Church residential school in St. Albert to dig a grave for a little boy back in the mid-1950s.
“The boy was about five years old,” Greene, 64, told Sun Media in a telephone interview from Vancouver.
“I remember the grave being too short for the coffin.” They then had to enlarge it to make the coffin fit, he said.
Churches that ran residential schools are disputing the presence of grave sites.
But yesterday, the Friends and Relatives of the Disappeared - a Vancouver-based aboriginal group examining residential school issues - released a list of 28 mass graves across Canada, four of which are located in Alberta.

Annett said the group received information that the Mounties are planning to dig up the grave sites and remove the remains.
“So we want the information out in the public so people are aware of the sites and can protect them because we really feel an independent inquiry needs to happen.”
On April 15, the aboriginal group will launch its own inquiry and is planning to hire forensic experts to analyze and determine the causes of deaths of those buried in the mass graves.

Of course they disputed allegations of mass graves, they also disputed allegations of physical, mental, and sexual abuse didn’t they?
Personally I hope that if any of those church officials are still alive they get nailed to their own crosses and left to think about just how unchristian they really are.
Wow. And I thought nothing about these people could shock me.
This is going to be bigger than Mount Cashel and the Residential Schools combined when those bodies are dug up.
