About this episode
In British Columbia, Canada, a stretch of highway winds through 450 miles of quiet country. For over 50 years, murders and missing person cases, notably among the indigenous community, have haunted the local population. The Highway of Tears is part of the enduring trauma of colonialism and assimilation, which included the genocidal Canadian Indian residential schools.The Residential School System | University of British ColumbiaThe dark legacy of Canada's residential schools, where thousands of children died | 60 MinutesPope Francis apologizes for harm done to indigenous Canadians at residential schools | Catholic News AgencyAfter Pope called residential schools ‘genocide,’ House of Commons should too: NDP MP - The Globe and MailPatreon: patreon.com/themorbidmuseum Instagram: @themorbidmuseum Email: themorbidmuseum@gmail.comArtwork: Brittany Schall Music: "Danse Macabre" by Camille Saint-Saens, performed by Kevin MacLeod
