Reminders of #Canada ’s #shameful treatment of #IndigenousPeoples were constant as Marie Clements shot parts of her sweeping #drama “Bones of Crows” at former residential school, where hundreds of suspected graves were discovered two years ago.
The #writer #director says fictional scenes depicting #abuse at a #ResidentialSchool were shot at the #KamloopsBC facility where the #Tkemlups te #Secwepemc #FirstNation said it had found 215 suspected #UnmarkedGraves in May 2021.
#Tkemlúps #Secwépemc #FirstNation will receive $12.5 million in #FederalFunding toward the construction of a new #HealingCentre for the community, nearly two years after suspected grave sites were discovered at a former #ResidentialSchool - leaders have announced.
A #JointStatement Thursday said the new healing house will provide #TraumaInformed programs to help the community spiritually, mentally, emotionally & physically.

Outrageous and shameful that a judge can deny genocide at a residential school and then jail an Indigenous land defender who is also a residential school survivor.
