- Graves found at site of Marieval Indian school in Saskatchewan
- Cowessess First Nation says discovery has ‘reopened the pain’
A First Nation in Canada’s Saskatchewan province has announced the discovery of 751 unmarked graves at a now-defunct residential school, just weeks after a similar discovery in British Columbia prompted a fresh reckoning over the country’s colonial past.
Chief Cadmus Delorme of the Cowessess First Nation said on Thursday that the graves were found on the site of the Marieval Indian residential school, also known as Grayson after a search with ground-penetrating radar was launched on 1 June.
