Premier Brian Pallister says the recent discovery of remains at a former residential school site in British Columbia is a stark reminder of the lasting impacts of Canada’s residential school system

He says that tragedy has been deeply felt in Manitoba, where there were 17 residential schools and 114 day schools.The government says the effort to find and honour the grave sites must be led by Indigenous people, especially those who survived residential schools.He adds that it will take a commitment from all levels of government to complete the work in a respectful and culturally appropriate way.

“Our government is committed to working collaboratively and respectfully with Indigenous leadership, elders, knowledge keepers and community members as we seek reconciliation, healing and meaningful ways to honour the lives lost and support the survivors and their families in our province,” Pallister said in a news release Monday.

The federal government recently promised $27 million to locate graves across the country. The Saskatchewan government committed $2 million to support searches in that province last week.At least 338 children died at residential schools in Manitoba, according to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. But the number is likely higher.

Kamloops residential school has woken up world to ‘genocide’ in Canada, Bellegarde saysThere needs to be investigation, remembrance and commemoration of all sites following the discovery of children’s remains in B.C., outgoing AFN National Chief says ‘Genocide’ ‘racism’ ‘hate’ all mean different things than they did five years ago. Hysterical, ridiculous and divisive. Yet we don’t know anything at all about the 215 bodies. Over what time they died, what did they die of. We don’t know anything at all, good or bad. What white people, the colonizers did to indigenous people everywhere was ALMOST genocide as it is defined by UN etc. Why almost, because they did not manage (as they planned) to completely whip out the natives so they can steal everything. What ever the name it is HORRIBLE
