Residential school records needed to answer ‘hard questions’: special interlocutor
The woman appointed to work with Indigenous communities as they search for unmarked graves at former residential schools across Canada says the fight is not over for records that could answer “hard questions,” including who the missing children were, how they died and where they are buried.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said his government is committed to sharing all the information it can possibly find about the institutions in federal records. A wave of searches at numerous sites of residential institutions across the country followed the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc announcement in May 2021 that more than 200 suspected unmarked graves had been identified on the grounds of the former school in Kamloops, B.C.
The prime minister has said the revelations sparked a reckoning for Canadians about the country’s history and relations with Indigenous Peoples. “What’s missing is the survivors today and their truth, their history as part of what really happened,” she says.
