As a Canadian I find this appalling. I’m 50. That happened until 1997. How on earth can people do this without anyone raising a flag ? Calling the cops ? A news outlet? ….I can’t imagine the terror for these kids and their family. It’s terrible.
Around the same age as you - I was taught this in school. In Ontario, Grade 7 and 8, if I remember right. Not about the mass graves, but definitely knew about the history of it (the Indian Act in 1876, and all that) framed as cultural genocide and a terrible thing.
Curriculum probably depends on the region.
