In a heart-wrenching incident, the remains of 215 children, some as young as three years old, were found at the site of a former residential school for indigenous children in British Columbia. Canadian PM Justin Trudeau said the incident was heartbreaking. The remains were found at the Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia that closed in 1978. The discovery hints at the "cultural genocide" of indigenous children.
