Wheres the evidence there wasn't the amount of unlawful deaths?

Unless there is some proof in the sealed Church records that are about to be released....there is no proof that kids were 'killed' ..plenty of deaths due to turburculoses and malnutrition (inflicted before they were taken there ), etc.
Some more on the story it's not for the the unmarked graves at the schools. It's a more recent issue.

Flash forward to 2020...things haven't changed and the Governments are still 'rescuing' children from unfit living conditions...
In Canada, 52.2% of children in foster care are Indigenous, but account for only 7.7% of the child population according to Census 2016. This means 14,970 out of 28,665 foster children in private homes under the age of 15 are Indigenous.
That costs the Canadain taxpayers a lot of money, now we're going to have to give them more to say we're sorry for giving their children a chance.
Maybe it’s time for a Full Integration Policy.
Or a full separation policy...remove the FN from every benefit they get from the "Colonialist' they so hate.....no more health care, no more welfare, no more education, no hospitals etc etc. You want to live with just your 'culture and language..see how long you live in the 21st century.

That was basically the intent behind the early residential school policy. It was an attempt to isolate native child from there cultural background so they could be assimilated into the colonial mine set. The government of those days found it impossible to assimilate or as you say integrate the adult population into the colonial mine set because they were content with their own traditional mind set which focus on having the necessities of life food, clothing, and shelter which they could draw on from the natural world, rather than working their backsides off to a form settlements and exploited the natural world to amass wealth. Meanwhile they began to see how good were at what we did, that they just wanted their rightful share for extinguishing their rights to the land on which their traditions and cultural relied on for their survival. Where does it all end? I recall a cause in the treaty making that allow for their compensation to go forward as long as the sun rises and set. So why on earth would they want to be integrated and possibly loss access to the money tree? Would you?
