Canada: Tk’emlups details next steps after radar search found probable graves (Includes video)
Kamloops This Week – July 16, 2021
The Tk’emlups band is calling on the federal government and the Catholic Church to release attendance records of all students who attended the Kamloops Indian Residential School as it prepares to begin work identifying what it believes is the remains of children in some 200 probable graves near the building. In May, the band announced it had conducted a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey indicating the presence of more than 200 unmarked graves on the grounds of the former school, leading to international attention and outcry over Canada’s residential school system. On Thursday (July 15) at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, the band revealed more details on the survey, as well as its plans moving forward.
