‘THEY SEND US MESSAGES’: Manitoba chief rejects calls to exhume residential school burial sites because the dead speak

CALGARY — A Manitoba First Nations leader has said that indigenous communities should not have to exhume suspected residential school burial sites because those who died there “send us messages” confirming their presence.

Does David Eby now believe as well that FN chiefs can speak to the dead? This is a legitimate question to put to the leader of this province: Do you, @Dave_Eby, accept as valid evidence that dead people can speak to us from the ground? https://t.co/A25V9pq5x7
