Mass grave reopens wounds among indigenous survivors of colonial Canadian school system
The discovery of the remains of 215 children at a former residential school in Canada has reopened wounds for survivors of the system, they said, as the government pledged to spend previously promised money to search for more unmarked graves. The Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc indigenous nation in British Columbia announced last week it had found the remains of 215 children, some as young as three, buried at the site of the Kamloops Indian Residential School, once Canada’s largest such school. Between 1831 and 1996, Canada’s residential school system forcibly separated about 150,000 children from their homes and subjected them to abuse, rape and malnutrition at schools across the country in what the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2015 called “cultural genocide”.

Paul Dummett rose highest to double their lead with a powerful header, before Callum Wilson made it three after finishing a clinical counter attack. Wilson added his second – and Newcastle’s fourth – having been played through brilliantly by Miguel Almirón, slotting home when his initial effort hit the post. Marc Albrighton rifled one into the top corner late on, with Kelechi Iheanacho continuing his h...

‘I have got a game in mind’ – 29-yr-old Newcastle star provides positive update on his injury

The striker picked up the injury against Southampton last month, and he was expected to be ruled out for six to eight weeks. However, the player returned to the club’s training ground on Tuesday and has begun working on the grass again.

Steve Bruce’s side have suffered in attack ever since the injury to Wilson, and now the likes of Miguel Almiron and Allan Saint-Maximin are also injured. Wilson has made quite an impact since his move from Bournemouth, scoring 10 goals this s...

Newcastle remain keen on signing the Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson this summer. As per Mirror’s print edition (h/t HITC), the Magpies are looking to offer players plus cash to land the striker.
