Our hearts are heavy, as yet another First Nation announced its findings of underground anomalies at a former residential school site.
We are in solidarity with the Star Blanket Cree First Nation and all First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples, and honour the memories of the thousands of children whose remains have been found across various residential schools since 2021 in so-called Canada. We mourn with residential school survivors and their families, for all the children who never returned to the homes from which they were violently stolen. 1
On January 12, Star Blanket Cree Nation announced that they had located at least 2,000 underground anomalies at the former Qu’Appelle Indian Residential School located in Lebret, Sask.
Star Blanket Cree Nation also announced they found and identified a jawbone of a four to six year old child, dated to approximately 125 years old.
