This is horrible, what was done to the Indigenous peoples in Canada. It's horrible if done to any people. I think the word genocide is a bit strong in this case but, to open a can of worms, at what point are we no longer responsible for the sins of our fathers?

The article after giving context about genocide by mentionning the grave of indigenous children talk about recent genocidal policies effective today. So yeah the article is not about blaming today people for the sins of their fathers like you claimed

I claimed nothing. I asked a question.

You asked a rhetorical question to pass the claim that people blame currrnt people for the sin of their fathers, while the article critisize current genocidal policies
