The discovery of possible unmarked graves at the Kamloops residential school shocked Canada, highlighting the painful legacy of Indigenous assimilation efforts, yet no remains have been exhumed.
Communities face a heartbreaking decision: whether to leave grave sites undisturbed as memorials or to exhume remains for identification and to return them to their families.
While there's widespread acknowledgment of the tragic history of Indigenous children taken from their families to residential schools, skepticism about grave discoveries persists among some groups.
Chief Rosanne Casimir emphasizes the ongoing analysis and tough choices surrounding the decision to potentially excavate the Kamloops site for further investigation or memorialize it.
