Tsuut’ina First Nation near Calgary holds a walk that drew more than 800 participants in memory of children whose remains were found at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School

Many of the participants wore T-shirts with the number 215 written on them, while others had shirts that read: “Every child matters.” Some were pushing strollers, while those carrying their children held on to them tightly.

“It’s about honouring, remembering those babies and giving them the opportunities to be released to the spirit world. That’s why people here today feel happiness because something’s being done to help them.”Rider said the news out of Kamloops has triggered suppressed memories and stories she had heard from her grandparents who went to residential schools.

“It’s just like really heartbreaking to know that those kids never had that closeness of family. I just always cherish my daughter and I’m just really grateful for her,” said Bluebird.
