The Cowessess First Nation has a population of 4,235 with Cree and Salteaux heritage. Their land is about 160 kilometres east of Regina. Kisha Supernant, director of the Institute of Prairie and Indigenous Archaeology at the University of Alberta, said she was surprised by the number of remains the Cowessess announced they had found, even though she expects similar announcements in the coming weeks. The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation’s register counts 1,420 children as having died while attending residential schools across the country., probably with similar numbers,” said Dr. Supernant, who is Métis.
A spokesperson for Saskatchewan Polytechnic did not immediately respond Wednesday evening to a request for more details about the school’s work with the Cowessess on the unmarked graves.
I will not believe that this is being taken seriously until: a. The Catholic Church publicly recognizes,apologizes and assumes accountability for the role they played; and b. The GOC stops arguing against the court action that has ordered them to support FIrst Nations' Children

DouglasGardham My heart is broken 💔 no words can say how i feel.
As they say : wer sucht der findet !
Sadly, this should not come as a surprise. Shocking in the extreme, but not unexpected. There will be many more, unfortunately.
This is so wrong on so many levels! Healing prayers to all🤍🦋
