RCMP investigating apparent white nationalist demonstration on Indigenous land near Kamloops
About 21 masked men in black fatigues marched and displayed a banner, while officials condemned the gathering as intimidation and denialism.
- On Sunday, 21 masked men associated with Second Sons Canada marched on the Secw reserve near Kamloops, draping an overpass with a banner reading "got bones?" in an apparent white nationalist demonstration.
- Five years ago, the Secw community identified more than 200 suspected unmarked graves at the Kamloops Indian Residential School using ground-penetrating radar, sparking national attention to residential school legacies.
- Kamloops RCMP superintendent Jeff Pelley stated officers are investigating the gathering, calling it a "cowardly attempt to avoid accountability" intended to intimidate and provoke fear and division.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the display as a "cowardly act" and "abhorrent," while NDP Leader David Eby, Green Party Leader Emily Lowan, and Conservatives Leader Lorne Doerkson also denounced the demonstration.
- The demonstration arrives days before the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, dedicated to honouring residential school attendees and remembering those who never returned home.
