First Nations finds 751 unmarked graves at Saskatchewan residential school site

Zi-Ann Lum - Politico

"The unmarked graves of more than 751 people have been discovered at the site of the former Marieval Indian Residential School in Saskatchewan, after hundreds of remains were found in other provinces in the past month," says this article from Politico. "There has been considerable political pressure in recent years on federal party leaders to accept the past treatment of Indigenous peoples in Canada as genocide," says the article, "including the nationwide residential school system [which] removed children from their families to enroll them in a system that strove to 'take the Indian out of the child.'”
