Buried Truths Stalled by Silence

Survivors are locked in a silent battle to uncover unmarked graves at former residential schools, hindered by locked records and privacy laws that block vital information from families. Despite mounting evidence—like the Survivors Secretariat’s findings of over 6,000 children who attended and 105 who died at the Mohawk Institute—the focus remains on remembrance, not excavation. Indigenous-led searches, fueled by survivor testimony, falter without funding, deepening distrust and leaving loved ones buried without closure. This funding gap also empowers denial, giving space to those who wish to erase the truth. Meanwhile, the Permanent Peoples Tribunal presses forward with its investigation into Canada’s role, poised to deliver rulings later this year despite government silence.
