He added he would "seek assistance" - without elaborating on what this would involve or what he would seek help for.

Tk’emlups confirms bodies of 215 children buried at former Kamloops Indian Residential School site
The band confirmed Thursday (May 27) it has found the remains of 215 children buried on the site of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.The children, some as young as three, were students at the school, which was once the largest in Canada’s residential school system.
Casimir says it’s believed the deaths are undocumented, though the Secwepemc Museum’s archivist is working with the Royal British Columbia Museum to see if any records of the deaths can be found.

They think there may be many more bodies to be found, as it was the largest Residential School in Canada, and had 500 students a year at times.
Children were brought from many parts of BC to that school, and they know some also came from outside the Province.
I'm not sure from what I read this morning whether they are actually going to dig up the bones or not. The grounds of the school are already named in memory of the children and are currently closed to the public.
They are called the Missing Children, and they are only known about from family stories. Many children didn't return home after being at a residential school, but went to other places (ie big cities) and didn't make contact with family. Then there are these poor children who died and were buried without any recognition.
A lot came out during the Reconciliation hearings.
Similar cases happened at other Residential schools all across Canada (and possibly also at such schools in other countries ..... the US had a similar system of Residential Schools).
It's going to be like the babies in the garden cases in Ireland, only much larger numbers.

My heart goes out to the communities and families . Very difficult . At least it is now right out there.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
My neighbour got home last night from a week of bear hunting. I haven't talked to him yet so don't know if he got one. Normally I'd ask him to save me a steak, but they're usually pretty skinny in the spring after hibernation.

Some of the kids in the complex are trouble makers, some seem to have parents who pay no attention to what they are doing.
A couple of them just went around and spray painted trees pink, not the entire tree obviously.

Any NHs/data experts?
According to google the NHS only retains your records for 8 years after they were last active, so I shouldn’t need to opt out of this data centralization thing, right? (Coming up to 10 years in Canada)
