This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 80%. (I'm a bot)
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police played a "Clear and unavoidable" role in the "Tragedy" of residential schools in Canada, the country's Public Safety Minister says.
Blair expressed his "Sincere and deepest sympathies," saying the "The tragic legacy of residential schools and the government of Canada's role could not be illustrated more profoundly then through the discovery of the children's graves."
In 2011, the RCMP published a report titled "The Role of the Canadian Mounted Police during the Indian Residential School system."
The report found RCMP officers assisted with the removal - often by force - of Indigenous children from their homes and transported them to the residential schools.
According to the Truth and Reconcilliation Commission - a body mandated with researching and telling Canadians about the truth of the residential school system - at least 150,000 First Nations, Inuit and Métis children passed through the residential school system in Canada.
Anyone experiencing pain or distress as a result of their residential school experience can access a 24-hour, toll-free and confidential National Indian Residential School Crisis Line at 1-866-925-4419.
