You bet.The ridiculousness of this excavation is mind blowing but I better be careful what I say……
These issues are not ridiculous, recognition of them isn't, either, and of you think differently, I propose a little exercise: put yourself in the shoes of those whose families suffered the several abuses that the Canadian government (in all of it's levels) perpetrated to the indigenous people of this land. Try to understand the social and personal pain and suffering that it brought to these people and communities. Imagine that it was your forefathers there.
I am happy that nothing was found here for two reasons. The lesser of which is that now the development can proceed without any major issues.
Finding out that, at least here, there aren't any indications that indigenous people.were treated as less than animals, with absolutely no dignity, respect and humanity, even in death, as happened in the residential schools and several other places, such as hospitals, asylums, etc, is much MUCH more important than any new development.
We, as a country and a people, are just as good as the way we treat one another. That includes those who came before us, as much as those who are still to come.
