Graves Found at Kamloops School | Canada News

Five years after the shocking discovery of over 200 potential unmarked graves at the Kamloops Indian Residential School, Tkemlúps te Secwépemc Chief Rosanne Casimir reveals the community is still navigating complex negotiations with other First Nations to determine how to proceed—with excavation, record gathering, and survivor testimony at the heart of the effort. The 2021 revelation ignited nationwide searches and sparked debate, even as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission had long confirmed the system’s devastating legacy. Security has become a necessity, with round-the-clock guards now protecting the site after threats of vandalism. While federal funding continues to support Indigenous-led investigations, some leaders warn of potential cuts, creating new hurdles. The work remains vital—not just to uncover the truth, but to honor the lives lost and heal the wounds of a system built on cultural genocide. Support is available 24/7 through the national crisis line and mental health services. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
