Chief David Monias of the Pimicikamak Cree Nation says it is shocking, and says more work is needed to determine whether some of the anomalies may be unmarked burial sites.
The St. Joseph's Residential School, managed by the Roman Catholic Church, operated in the community from 1912 to 1969, and housed children from across northern Manitoba.Documents at the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation say the school at times suffered outbreaks linked to overcrowding, including a spread of tuberculosis in 1943.
Other Manitoba communities have launched similar searches, including 14 anomalies at the site of the former Pine Creek Residential School which, following excavation, showed no evidence of human remains.
