A mass grave of over 200 children has reportedly been discovered at a former school in British Columbia that was used to assimilate indigenous Canadian children years ago. The Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation said it used ground-penetrating radar to detect the grave allegedly filled with the remains of 215 children near the Kamloops Indian Residential School, which was opened for nearly 90 years from 1890 - 1978. The Kamloops school was one of many institutions in Canada used to forcibly separate Indian children from their parents in an attempt to assimilate them into modern Canadian culture. Abuse was reportedly rampant at the schools. Tk’emlups te Secwepemc said in a statement that the mass grave site was “an unthinkable loss that was spoken about but never documented.”
OTTAWA – A Saskatchewan First Nation says it has made the “horrific and shocking discovery” of hundreds of unmarked graves — many believed to be children — near a former residential school, with a total expected to be over three times higher than the 215 discovered recently in Kamloops, B.C., according to a source briefed on the file.Leaders of the Cowessess First Nation, a roughly two hour drive east of Regina, are expected to reveal details of the macabre discovery near what was once the Marieval Indian Residential School during a press conference Thursday morning, as well as the latest count of newly-identified remains.“The number of unmarked graves will be the most significantly substantial to date in Canada,” says an advisory published Wednesday evening by the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, which represents 74 First Nations in Saskatchewan.
