"As soon as we heard they wanted to do the solar light vigil, I went to my owner and he promptly agreed to provide the lights, at no cost to me. He phoned the local Canadian Tire, they emptied their shelves within hours," Kevin Friesen, a Cowessess First Nation member who works in sales at Mann Northway GM, told CTV National News.for the vigil, where a light was placed at each flag to mark the spot where remains were found.
As efforts to scan the grounds continue, community members have many questions of just who exactly is buried there. However, at this stage of the investigation, officials say they are unable to identify the remains in the unmarked graves, which may belong to both adults and children who attended or worked at the residential school.
"I have a lot of family members who went to residential schools and it’s just hard to take in when you have a lot of people and a lot of connections," 16-year-old Rylie Delorme, part of the Cowessess Community Youth Council, told CTV National News. On Saturday, the Catholic religious order that operated residential schools in Saskatchewan and British Columbia said it will disclose all historical documents in its possession related to the schools where the unmarked graves were found.
