➡️Our history in Canada is horrifying, & until we acknowledge that & recognize the truth, we will continue upholding systems built on a foundation of racism, violence & harm without question.

215 Indigenous children were found buried at a Kamloops residential school site, some as young as THREE years old.

That residential school only closed in 1978. The last residential school closed in 1996. This isn't some distant history that we are talking about.

And Indigenous people continue to be oppressed in this country, the effects are very much felt in present day.

We should be collectively grieving this atrocity as a country.
