Why this petition matters

The Charles Camsell hospital is the site of many human rights violations against Indigenous people's. These violations include human experimental testing on Indigenous people, ties to Residential Schools, forced sterilization of Indigenous people, as well as the site of thousands of abuse cases against Indigenous people's. There is a mass grave on the site that hasn't been exhumed or surveyed as of July 2nd, 2021.

The Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta has attempted to cover up enough sites of Indigenous genocide. T.C. Briggs Construction has decided on redevelopment of a genocidal site, their model is to turn it into condominiums. Places where people will live their lives happily, on land where part of a systemic genocide has taken place.

The Charles Camsell should not be redeveloped as condominiums, as it's the site of systemic genocide, and should not be changed into anything but a commemorative site of the atrocities against Indigenous peoples of Canada. As Germany has done with their Concentration Camps, we should do with our Residential Schools, and "Indian Hospitals." Turn them into places of Education. Teach generations after us that this should not have ever been tolerated, and should never be tolerated in the future. Survey the land for our lost family.

A settlement offer to victims is not enough. Stop standing by as our dead are disrespected. Stop erasing the genocide of our First people's.
