A pair of shoes were hung with the sign, a gesture Bear described as a mockery of symbolism used to represent the lives lost in Canada's residential school system. She said the "white lives matter" message likely stemmed from the recent attention on discoveries of unmarked or undocumented gravesites at residential school grounds. A statement from Saskatchewan RCMP said the Prince Albert detachment received a complaint about the sign just after noon CST on Wednesday. A national Indian Residential School Crisis Line has been set up to provide support for former students and those affected. Do you have information about unmarked graves, children who never came home or residential school staff and operations?
