Finally, although this is a very small portion of taxpayers $$ that is dumped into the coffiers of the Aboriginal Industry. But I guess it's a start.

It is about time this was done. All historical government and other documentation refutes these allegations of hidden graves and aboriginal genocide. The majority of these grave sites were common knowledge for years and the deaths were probably tuberculosis related. Archives and other documentation appears to indicate just as many white children as aboriginals were victims of this disease. Lastly, British/Canadian treatment of aboriginals was infinitely better than any other European nation coming to North America and their subsequent colonists. We were not prefect but considering the times and attitudes then, our aboriginal population faired much better than others.
