“Truth Takes Time” says Kamloops Chief, comparing 215 unconfirmed graves to the Holocaust

Five years after the shocking claim of 215 dead Indigenous children buried in a Kamloops mass grave, not one body has been recovered, despite millions in federal funding to do just that.

It's been five years since the explosive claim of 215 unmarked child graves at a former Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia, and the story seems ever-evolving.

Chief Rosanne Casimir of the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation recently referenced the Holocaust to explain the delay in confirming the identities of any child victims at the alleged mass grave site.

“Truth takes time,” she is quoted as saying, while attempting to explain why her nation has made “no attempt” to dig, despite $12.1 million in federal funding to do so.

Casimir told senators during recent Senate testimony that investigations into the Holocaust took over 75 years, as first reported by Blacklock’s.

This moral inflation of the highest order — equating unverified radar blips in an old orchard to the industrialized slaughter of Jews, with gas chambers, mass shootings, and mountains of documented evidence. The comparison trivializes one of history’s clearest genocides in an attempt to shield a five-year long narrative that crumbles under even the slightest bit of scrutiny.

In 2024, the band updated their online verbiage of the ‘findings,’ referring the discovery as “the confirmation of 215 anomalies were detected,” rather than “the confirmation of the remains of 215 children” as first stated in 2021.

Detected by ground-penetrating radar, at this point the ‘anomalies’ are merely soil disturbances that have never been excavated or confirmed as human remains. Not one body has been recovered. Not one child identified, despite millions in tax-payer funds to do just that.

Turning possible burials (or tree roots, old pipes, or septic lines) into a Canadian Holocaust without a single shovel of proof is not truth-seeking.

It’s narrative control.

    Fire that crooked chief! It’s leaders like her who people see as grifters and it gives indigenous people a bad name. And as usual, Liberals divide people instead of uniting them.

    Digging for evidence means that holes have to be created in the ground. But it’ll take years to first define what a “proper” hole will me and, then, how to dig it. Displacing soil to make the hole has to be done in a way that won’t “offend” anyone or create carbon or…..

    The only digging that will ever be carried out is the digging for more excuses not to do anything.

    Referring to the Holocaust is just a dirty trick to garner some sympathy. They got caught with their fingers in the cookie jar and are trying to deflect the blame with any cheap excuse they can find.

    This is just a con game. They got millions, and the question is who received those millions and where is the money now?

    Truth only takes time if you don’t want it to come out. And shovels in the ground would speed it up quite a bit.

    That chief and her tribe owe us taxpayers the $12-million or a good reason why no bodies were discovered. I’m fed up with these grifters playing on white guilt.
