Wauzhushk Onigum Nation announced Tuesday that an investigation into the site of the St. Mary’s Indian Residential School has found at least 171 anomalies, which the nation says are "plausible burials" within cemetery grounds on the school site.
“With the exception of five grave markers, the remaining are unmarked by any grave or burial markers,” a statement from the First Nation said.The nation said the next steps are to gain greater certainty on the number of possible burials among the anomalies and to investigate several additional sites not covered during the first investigation.
St. Mary’s Indian Residential School operated from 1897 to 1972 in Kenora. The nation said 6,114 children attended the school during its years of operation. According to records from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, at least 36 children died at the school while it was operating, though survivors believe the number is higher.
Residential school sites across Canada have been searched since the discovery of 215 potential unmarked graves at the site of a former residential school in Kamloops. Most recently, the Star Blanket Cree Nation in Saskatchewan reported more than 2,000 anomalies were discovered on the site of the Qu’Appelle Indian Residential School in Saskatchewan.
To get another viewpoint about this, please read Terry Glavin's columns about this and stories in the Dorchester Review. They show that most of the media stories about 'mass graves' are a hoax.
So far, zero bodies have been found at residential schools, despite all the media hype.
They are 'anomalies' , not bodies. Could be anything.
SO STILL HAVEN'T FOUND 1 BODY?
