Ottawa is spending $2 million for an international organization to provide First Nations with options around identifying possible human remains buried near residential schools.
Miller’s office says the organization will undertake a “cross-country outreach campaign” with Indigenous communities interested in options to help identify or repatriate the possible remains of children who were forced to attend residential schools. “Indigenous communities across Canada are leading the difficult and important work of uncovering the truth at the sites of former, and our government will continue to support them in that process, whether they choose to use the services of the or not,” the minister said in a statement.
At the time, Kimberly Murray, who is serving as an independent special interlocutor on the issue, said she expressed concerns because it was unclear whether the request for the organization’s help was coming from Indigenous communities.
