I don't think it's accurate to use the word genocide today (common and garden "racism", "ignorance" and "greed" all work). However, I think it could be argued that the residential school system was intentionally and systemically structured around "cultural genocide".

Unconscious to a mass of people that were informed in such a way that they were insensitive to what was happening?

There is a large force of people that would say there is no such thing as an unconscious psyche ... that would pose a dark and mysterious item in the domain of folks claiming to know God and everything!

I claim to be uncertain to such things as according to the 3rd item in mystical attributes! There are those that are determined such an attribute is wrong in a determinate world. I still say we have a lot to learn about indeterminate matter ... dark stuff is mostly unseen!

Then there is all the light we have not yet seen ... dark energy?

Is an indeterminate soul something difficult to grasp thus accounting for the stoned lady at the wall as a psychic being that put the mysterious hand on the wall as a carved myth?

Was V' Noos carved in stone ... accounting for the deeper sense ...

Oh, I do think genocide was an appropriate word in the past.

Some people could redact Geno's to generous when dealing out subsistence ... and they felt good about keeping the best ... for the subjective god ... the objective being too distant to be cognizant of at the brutal Heh Ur relation as bipolar relations existed between the soul and spirit of the concerns of the time ... Anis? Sometimes Geno was even mistaken as Juno who ... Janus? Mostly through transliteration to cause chaos to those that believed that had everything straight before Lucrecia threw them The Swerve from her father's office ... pope Rye? It converted to the Nature of Things as all skewered by relations between the emperor and the head of the temple ... Pan*theo*n ... Theo in the Pan ... cooked!

Opposition to Spirited Hierarchy being portion of article 5 in the mystic nature as claimed to be sacred! Folk in the temple of Caesar were intoxicated by not knowing ... while Caesar passed unspeakable protocols while in bed with senator's relations ...

Over time this kind of history gets somewhat foggy ... thus histology as skin off everybody's r'cis ... it follows as being latent and from a place you cannot observe easily ... Gen *Oz may be just across that red line from insanity ... as red can set off such insane hungers!

It must be mythologised as protocol demands it should not be known to the demographics ... warped images of endogeneity? Thus weals, wends and bents to escape public vision ... BLTZFX? Fas Tae?

And imagine all the other things that go on without our knowledge ... just because it is best if these things do not wear on the criminalization of some minds as conscience is extracted ...

If a mind/psyche is nothing ... how would this look with a hole in it? Would that be a stoned vision as a hard image? Look at this from the alternate view ... of course you might have to step beyond yourself for a bit ... to observe the oblivious from a safe distance. Some say that is unsafe to do as it migh allow an alter ego (ego being a sense of awareness) and from there we extend and expand on Eire ... late nights on air? Airy for sure ... like that scene in Contact! Sagan too ... was far beyond his elph ...

These folk must be contained ... or the social order will dissipating ... quantum domains being reestablished ... as where and when we appeared as spark in some one's eye (sigh and someone got it)! Och mon ...
 
Reflecting on this whole event I think of how people with powered and people close to power, along with others, are reluctant to accept the testimony of people with less power without corroborating evidence. Indigenous people and people connected to Indigenous people have spoken about unmarked graves for decades. Governments unwilling to pay the costs of transporting the bodies to their home communities are not going to worry about grave markers.
 
I think you all know that I am appalled by the way indigenous people are treated in Canada. Understanding the effects of the reserve system and the schools doesn't take any effort at all. However I'm puzzled by the attention being given to 'unmarked graves' as a mark of disrespect.
I can't name anyone within my family who lies in a marked grave. Millions of families don't have a custom of doing that, it doesn't usually mean the person wasn't loved. So - dare I ask - would the indigenous families have laid their dead children in a marked grave? Was that the custom through the years the schools were operating?

They were marked and the headstones were removed though. Basically hiding evidence.
 
Without some rational emotions ... would we be forced to accept we don't know the difference between what's wrong for self and what's wrong for the alternate?

Alternately one might be forced to change the subjective and review the thing from the objective view ... a point of view from outside the subjective passions! (fits with one saints perspective about god being a point that is un contained or all over the place ...)

Imagine God with scattered points of thought in disarrayed folks ... the diaspora! Then it collides with the anti social ... and dark fires erupt ... sight fully unseen and perhaps intangible with those without insensitivities! That may degrade into spitefully ... and someone no doubt will be spitting over condescension as the word goes down into Lo Gos ... and few understood what was up!

God is rough on heh's/hur prodigals ...

I find your comment interesting re marked/unmarked graves. It also reminds me that what I know as familiar can easily be assumed to be a widespread practice - when it may not be. So thanks for that.

Our Indigenous people certainly have a strong spirituality, and their practices around death/end of life/bereavement are different from what we 'settlers' may know. My Ojibwa & Cree friends talked of holding sacred fires which burn & are tended continuously for many days after a death, often with drumming & singing, to accompany the person to the spirit world. We never spoke about graves or markers. There are interesting articles on google about end of life care in our Aboriginal communities. Some talk about how our provincial laws view remains in cemeteries as sacred & protected, but remains found in Aboriginal burial grounds as scientifically interesting - quite a difference.

The children buried at the residential schools were not in 'aboriginal burial grounds'. They were not bid farewell by their families or communities. I believe they were cast off, hidden in unmarked sites by those who were entrusted with their lives. Not valued. Expendable. One less Indian to worry about.

The entire colonial attitude to indigenous people was, and is, disgusting. We have much to apologise for and repair as best we can.

We've spread our bad ideas widely throughout the world. "Western Christian Culture" has been, and continues to be, a hotbed of thinly veiled racism cloaked in cultural superiority.
