Im deeply concerned that both sides of Parliament voted that Canada had caused genocide of 1st Nations. Was this based on the unmarked graves, or something else? Where are the names of those who perpetuated this genocide? How can Canada support Uyghurs and decry genocide to communist China, when Canada is on par with Nazi Germany with its own genocide?

Your assessment is right on, I fear. It seems that Kimberley Murray is more interested in guarding power and creating rules to prevent investigation than she is in resolving anything. "Murray said, 'it is critically important investigations into unmarked graves remain independent of the Canadian government.' " (Just send money.) It's almost funny. Makes me think of that wonderful book title by Anthony Wolf, "Get Out of My Life, But First Could You Drive Me and Cheryl to the Mall?"

The most shocking part of this brilliant article is that all non-indigenous entities are excluded in the hunt for the Holy Grave. Like the Holy Grail, the Holy Grave of missing and church-murdered children is in the realm of fiction.
