I get it. They have an agenda. You have an agenda. But it would be prudent to wait until there are excavations and dna analysis at the possible sites. And “remains” seems like the operative word.

From the first article: > Saddle Lake Cree Nation revealed on Tuesday that since 2004, there have been numerous discoveries of partial remains that were accidentally excavated while new graves were being dug in the community's cemetery Yes. And you can go to any cemetery in the rural US and find the same. Infant morality in 1900 was 165/1000, or 16.5% [1]. Young child mortality was high as well. What those links show is that there were bodies at a church cemetery operative in the late 19th, early 20th century. This is a highly normal occurrence, and as the people putting forward the narrative have given no factual evidence on the body count, a reasonable assumption is it's quite low or even a solitary instance. If the people with an "agenda," as you put it, are so convinced there's something there, the excavation would have happened earlier than two years. The entire Canadian government, the activists, and the journalists who pushed this narrative have nothing to lose if they're correct.
