More Possible Indigenous Burial Sites Suspected In Canada
At least 14 unmarked graves are suspected at the site of the former Gordon’s Indian Residential School in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.
On Wednesday, George Gordon First Nations chief Byron Bitternose said the area will be a search priority in upcoming months.
He added, the hope is to “be able to tell our children the whole story of what their great-grandparents, grandparents, parents and siblings endured.”
The number of unmarked graves is likely to grow as the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation lists 49 names of children who died at the school.
The discovery of nearly 2,000 unmarked graves at former Indian Residential Schools in the past year has shocked Canadians.
