A press release from the office of the Chief of the Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation in Kamloops, B.C., has stated that the most recent investigation at the Kamloops Residential School site shows “signatures that resemble burials” but no confirmed graves.
The investigation, which the B.C. government pledged $12 million to in 2021, has yet to produce any concrete evidence of burials or gravesites.
BC First Nation confirms it never tried to recover alleged graves of 215 Residential School students despite claiming $12M in fed funding for "exhumation of remains." https://t.co/pr8Yn70w7D @CdnHeritage @Tkemlups #cdnpoli #bcpoli pic.twitter.com/27hi89EWCZ
