“Denialists entered the site without permission. Some came in the middle of the night, carrying shovels,' reads a new report.
Residential school deniers entered the former Kamloops Indian Residential School site to dig up unmarked graves, according to a new report.
Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc also had to deal with uninvited visitors who didn’t respect the site, the report claims, including deniers and members of the media who breached cultural protocols by taking photos and video recordings of the burial site without consent.“Many international experts point out that denialism is the last step in genocide. Denialism is not harmless, yet its destructive impacts are not widely recognized or understood,” the report reads.
“Every time an announcement of anomalies, reflections or recoveries relating to the existence of unmarked burials is made, Indigenous communities are being attacked by denialists challenging these findings,” the report states.
