Canada not only deserves the presumption of innocence against these unproved allegations\u003B it is in fact innocent of them
But his piece also demonstrates the tenacity of those who cannot resist such Nuremberg-like indictments against us. It is not the case that, as Mr. Racher stated: ”Legal scholars and historians have debated whether that bar was met here” . He correctly states the United Nations approved and universally accepted the definition that genocide requires ”intent on the part of perpetrators to physically destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.
Once the European settlement of the country threatened to encroach seriously upon land occupied by the natives and vital to their survival, the British crown entered into a series of treaties to agree to a division of territory with the First Nations.
But our governments and Christian churches responsible for the IRS have already committed $4.7 billion of reparations in respect of the program which did make approximately 150,000 native children literate and did launch a great many of them successfully into adulthood. The abuses that they suffered are not disputed but they are impossible to quantify in number or degree.
The particular flashpoint for this exchange is the argument that substantial numbers of native children died from negligence or were murdered and disposed of in unmarked graves. It is astonishing that Mr. Racher, an accomplished archaeologist, would argue as he did, that none of these presumed graves should be excavated to find out if they actually are graves, because many First Nations “consider any disturbance of graves to be an abomination.
