The motive is the same general motive you see in genocide of indigenous people around the world - from what China does to Tibetans and Uyghurs, to Canada's history of rounding up kids to put them in extremely abusive schools who freely said stuff about how they beat the indian out of the child, it's all just the way people behave when they're colonizing others. The motive is only recently seeing any organized challenge to this, it's pretty wild to look at comment sections on things and seeing the amount of genocide denial out there on this particular topic. If they exhume those alleged unmarked graves with archaeologists and find actual children's remains traceable to the nearby schools, then these people saying they could be anything have a lot of words to eat.
