What’s the main cause of death for all these native children in Canada?

Mandatory government residential schools for Native children in Canada started in 1920 and were mostly phased out by 1969. Hundreds of unmarked graves have been recently discovered and news reports suggest tuberculosis as the major cause of death. But Canada started administering a vaccine for that in 1921.

So is it another cause?

Probably several other causes. Although the availability of a vaccine doesn’t necessarily mean they were considered important enough to warrant treatment.
@bijouxbroussard this is the most likely answer
