| Description | : | Ground-penetrating radar has discovered the graves of approximately 215 children near the site of the Kamloops Indian Residential School, which operated from 1890 until the late 1970s. The school was part of a system that indigenous children were forced to attend, and the deaths were the result of harsh treatment at the school. In many cases, families never learned the fate of their children and the deaths were explained by false claims the children had simply ran away. Investigative efforts, including scanning more parts of the grounds, are just getting underway as of late May, 2021. |
