Mass graves of Mohawk children have been
uncovered by ground-penetrating radar at the Mohawk Institute, a
residential school for Mohawk operated by the Church of England and
the Vatican before its closure in 1970. According to Rev. Kevin Annett, Secretary of the International
Tribunal for Crimes of Church and States, the Mohawk
Institute was, “set up by the Anglican Church of England in 1832 to
imprison and destroy generations of Mohawk children. This very first
Indian residential school in Canada lasted until 1970, and, like in
most residential schools, more than half of the children imprisoned
there never returned. Many of them are buried all around the
school.”
