Less than one month after a First Nations group in Canada discovered the unmarked graves of 215 Indigenous children entrusted to the care of a state-sponsored Catholic boarding school in Kamloops, British Columbia, a similar discovery has been made in Saskatchewan at another school. However, this time the search uncovered the remains of 751 children.
According to the Washington Post, about 150,000 Indigenous children were sent to these schools all over Canada (and in the U.S.) during the 19th century under the guise of “assimilation.” There, the children suffered brutal physical and sexual abuse along with horrific living conditions. These horrors, in addition to overcrowding and lack of medical care, meant thousands of children died, and the schools very often saved money by burying their bodies in unmarked graves rather than informing families.
