In the 1830's, residential schools were built in Canada. More than 150,000 First Nations would go through these schools until 1996. All First Nations came back from these schools broken. They had horrid stories to be told about the abuse they endured for years. A $1.9 billion compensation package called CEP(Common Experience Payment) for all former Residential School survivors was made throughout Canada in 2006. This was the largest class action settlement in Canadian history. Have you heard about the residential schools in Canada? Yes

Many First Nations died throughout the years of attending these residential schools. There was an estimated 3200 to 6000 people who died. The people who ran these residential schools didn't make it a habit to keep proper records of such deaths. These First Nations would rest without a proper burial. In 2018, 50 unmarked graves were exposed in Manitoba where RVs would be situated for camping. Should these unmarked graves be unearthed and be set for proper burial?
