Searching for My Enslaved Ancestors Hidden in This Park

[@MetaView7]

It is happening in Canada as well -- Many black and aboriginal heritage is quietly being hidden, ignored, belittled, erased, and eventually, forgotten.

[@faedraemberhart5500]

As someone of Cree ancestry I appreciate your comment. I likely have family in northern Alberta buried unmarked in residential schools and I honestly hope one day I can find them. Im glad its getting more attention lately but its a huge problem here in Canada that still needs to be addressed properly

[@黑花生]

@@faedraemberhart5500 Well said. The way Aboriginal people are treated in Canada is not only problematic historically, but associated discrimination has never really been eradicated. The 1990 OKA tragedy is just one example of the evidence.

I've always wonderd why hollywood creatives have never written a serious horror film about an AfricanAmerican burial ground or mass grave, or write a serious horror film (not campy or cartoony) about a Native American burial ground & mass grave? With the way Hollywood contiunes to change, Wakanda Forever, the tv show Reservation Dogs etc, such films could happen.

It is interesting to discover even the painful history of our city. I hope there can be something more permanent to mark these graves, maybe with the names that are at least known. if there's a silver lining to this, it's that the graves are in a city park, so they aren't at risk of being built upon or in the middle of some property dispute.
