Next steps for Star Blanket Cree Nation after residential school ‘anomalies’ discovery
Once we visited that site, we needed to pick a group that were subject matter experts in ground penetrating radar,” said project lead, Sheldon Poitras.
Poitras said the project team plans to go off-site as they gather information, listening to stories from survivors and others who have heard stories from their loved ones. He said they will be working with landowners moving into different phases to do the scanning.“Moving forward, we have to meet with these individuals, gain their permission, scan the area and see … what we can find,” said Poitras.
Dr. Terence Clark, assistant professor at the University of Saskatchewan department of archaeology and anthropology is also part of the Canadian Archaeological Association Working group on unmarked graves. He says they plan on reaching out to the SBCN to offer their experience.“We’re hoping that we can help them in this process,” said Clark. “They’re just kind of starting and it’s a long process to go through all this material … we’re happy to do and we have done in many other instances.
