Uncovering the Kamloops Cover-Up: Ground-truthing GPR Anomalies

Video Description

Description: Join David Brett, editor of The New Westminster Times, as he reveals shocking truths about indigenous land claims, the Kamloops Residential School alleged discoveries, and a potential cover-up involving ground penetrating radar (GPR). Standing at the site of New Westminster Senior Secondary School, built over historic cemeteries like the Douglas Cemetery and Potter's Field, David explores how these forgotten burial sites tie into broader reconciliation discussions in BC. Learn about the 2017 Golder Associates archaeological report, the Chilcotin War, Chief Ahan, and why GPR anomalies at Kamloops may not indicate unmarked graves. This video challenges narratives around genocide, DRIPA, and the Cowichan decision, urging Canadians and British Columbians—especially New Westminsterites—to rethink indigenous reconciliation and demand ground truthing for true historical accuracy. What You'll Learn: How ground penetrating radar (GPR) results can be misleading, as shown in the 2017 Golder Associates report, and its implications for the Kamloops Residential School 215 graves announcement. Connections between the Chilcotin War, Chief Ahan's execution, and modern indigenous land claims like DRIPA and the Cowichan decision. Evidence suggesting a cover-up to advance narratives of genocide, influencing BC property rights, treaty negotiations, and court decisions. Why truth is essential for reconciliation, and how this local New Westminster story reshapes provincial discussions on unmarked graves and historical justice.
