A total of 751 UNMARKED GRAVES have been found on a site of a former boarding school in Saskatchewan – the largest such discovery to date.


A Canadian Indigenous group described it as a “horrific and shocking discovery” - coming just weeks after 215 children’s remains were found in unmarked graves of another former boarding school in British Columbia.


Both boarding schools were part of a govt-funded and church-run system which housed nearly 150,000 Indigenous children – often forcibly taken from their parents.


Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission called the practice in a 2015 report “cultural genocide” – revealing that students were often subjected to physical and sexual abuse.
