MURDERED

These six aboriginal activists were all survivors of the murderous, church-run "Indian residential schools" and active members of the campaign to expose and prosecute these crimes by the Catholic, Anglican and United Church of Canada.

They were all organizers with the Friends and Relatives of the Disappeared (FRD), a forerunner to the ITCCS, and led or participated in protests and non-violent occupations of these churches.

They were all eyewitnesses to killings or burials of children at Indian residential schools.

All of them died of foul play at the hands of the Vancouver police, hospital staff, church agents or other unknown parties.
