# Claim table — RCMP residential-school task-force Facebook post

| Claim / issue | Evidence label | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| A B.C. RCMP Native Indian Residential School Task Force existed. | Confirmed. | IJF/Tyee describe a B.C. RCMP task force created in the mid-1990s to investigate abuse allegations at 15 B.C. residential schools. |
| The task-force final report is now public through IJF/Open By Default. | Confirmed with access caveat. | IJF Open By Default record A-2021-10504 identifies a 139-page RCMP release for the Final Report of the Native Indian Residential School Task Force, Project E-NIRS (1994-2003). Direct PDF capture was blocked from this environment. |
| The investigation produced no proof of specific homicide or clandestine-burial allegations it examined. | Supported, narrowly. | The social post and secondary commentary cite the report this way; the IJF/Tyee article focuses mainly on abuse investigations, prosecutions, barriers and limits. NewsForBC frames this as specific investigated allegations, not a universal finding about every site. |
| The task force proved there were no children buried or missing at residential schools. | Overstated / not proven. | A 1994–2003 police file does not resolve every school, every record gap, or every later ground-search and archival investigation. |
| The task force found no abuse. | False. | IJF/Tyee report more than 4,000 tips, complaints against 129 people, 974 allegations, and charges linked to 14 men, with several convictions. |
| Kamloops 2021/2026 burial-investigation claims are disproven by this report alone. | Not established. | Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc says its independent investigation remains ongoing and has found signatures resembling burials in some areas while other areas were ruled out. |
| The RCMP had a role in the residential-school system. | Confirmed. | RCMP’s own page and 2011 report describe RCMP involvement, including truant-officer roles, and official apologies. |
| The post is safe to share as a simple “hoax” conclusion. | No. | The careful public-interest framing is: real task-force record, real limits, abuse history confirmed, burial/homicide allegations must be assessed claim by claim. |

## Bottom line

The Facebook post points to a real and important B.C. police-history record. Its narrow claim about specific homicide/clandestine-burial allegations investigated by Project E-NIRS has support, but the broader social-media leap — that this ends every residential-school burial, death, abuse or reconciliation question — is not supported by the record reviewed here.
