However, not\u2063 a \u200csingle body has \u2064been recovered\u2062 so far.<\/p>\n<p>Reports from this\u2064 summer \u2062suggested that there could be\u200c the remains of 60 children on the premises. Ground-penetrating radar \u200bthen detected 14 &#8220;anomalies&#8221; in the \u200cbasement of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows church, <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">located<\/span> beside the former Pine Creek Residential School. The \u200cmedia, like in previous reports, speculated that\u200b these &#8220;anomaly&#8221; detections likely indicated the bodies of children who were possibly killed or neglected and then secretly buried in these &#8220;unmarked graves.&#8221; Seeking answers, Chief Derek Nepinak\u200c of Pine Creek First Nation helped organize an excavation, which took\u200d place from July\u200b 24 to August \u200b24. In August, the \u200dchief announced that the University of\u200d Brandon team found no human remains.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Nepinak <a href=\"https:\/\/rumble.com\/v39di80-chief-derek-nepinak-says-no-evidence-of-human-remains-found-on-churchs-grou.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stated<\/a>, &#8220;The archaeological \u200dteam we hired from \u200cthe University of Brandon, which is the same\u2062 archaeological team \u200drelied upon by regional police agencies when doing archaeological excavations, found no conclusive evidence of human remains in their excavation of\u2062 the ground under the church basement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, doubts \u200dabout these allegations had already emerged. As noted by Daily Wire reporter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/remember-the-hundreds-of-childrens-remains-found-at-a-canadian-residential-school-that-narrative-may-be-collapsing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ashe Schow<\/a>, the narrative surrounding these &#8220;mass graves&#8221; began to crumble as early as January 2022.<\/p>\n<p>For \u2063instance, one of the initial reports \u2063claiming to discover these unmarked graves came from Kamloops, Canada, by archaeologist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufv.ca\/chasi\/about\/faculty-associates\/beaulieu-sarah.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Sarah Beaulieu<\/span><\/a>. \u200cInitially, she estimated 215 children, but later revised it to \u2063200 &#8220;probable burials.&#8221; It was later clarified that \u200bthese\u2062 &#8220;anomalies&#8221; simply indicated disruptions in the soil, not necessarily bodies.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, critics of\u2064 Beaulieu suggest\u200d that the archaeologist\u2064 confused these alleged shallow graves around the school with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dorchesterreview.ca\/blogs\/news\/the-kamloops-discovery-a-fact-check-two-years-later\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2,000 feet \u2062of trenches<\/span><\/a>  that were dug for the school&#8217;s septic system. Beaulieu also mentioned an alleged &#8220;child&#8217;s tooth&#8221; and rib bone from a juvenile \u2063in her\u2064 findings, but \u2064the tooth\u2064 was\u200b found\u200c to be non-human, and there are no records of \u2062the supposed rib bone. Additionally, \u2064the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)\u2063 have yet\u200d to excavate\u2064 this area \u2064in \u2064Kamloops.<\/p>\n<p>University of Montreal history professor Jacques Rouillard pushed back on the narrative, stating that more excavation work needs to be done. He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12466913\/mass-grave-indigenous-children-Canada-excavation-dig-catholic.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>, &#8220;I don&#8217;t \u2064like to use the word hoax because it&#8217;s too strong, \u200bbut there \u200bare also too many falsehoods circulating about this issue with no evidence. This has all been very dark \u200bfor \u2064Canada. We need more excavations so we can know the truth.
