After the announcement by the T'kemlups First Nation of the "discovery" of unmarked graves at Kamloops, many politicians, Indigenous leaders, and media have thrown aside balance, restraint, and caution, turning truth into a casualty. The flight from truth makes true Reconciliation impossible. Why will Canadians want to extend the hand of friendship to Indigenous people who continue to call them criminals and murderers? Why will Indigenous people want to engage in mutual cooperation with people whom they have been led to regard as criminals and murderers? Getting beyond the "Grave Error" and recovering a more balanced picture of residential schools is the only road to genuine Reconciliation.
