751 UNMARKED GRAVES ON RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL GROUNDS

Cowessess First Nation says it has found an estimated 751 unmarked graves on the grounds of the former Marieval Indian Residential School in Saskatchewan.

Chief Cadmus Delorme said,  "The Catholic church representatives removed the headstones and today they are unmarked graves," he said.

 Delorme says he is confident that the Church will hand over records pertaining to the school, but at present, they have just one book of records from a Knowledge Keeper, who he said held onto it when she was young, despite threat of charges.
