DELMAS, SASKATCHEWAN A group of Saskatchewan First Nations is beginning their search for unmarked graves at the grounds of the former Delmas/Thunderchild Indian Residential School.
The Battlefords Agency Tribal Chiefs announced in June the plan to search the grounds for potential unmarked graves in the area 160 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon.
The ground-penetrating radar search is to begin this morning with a smudge ceremony, and mental health counsellors and elders will be on-site for support.
The Delmas/Thunderchild school was operated by the Roman Catholic Church from 1901 to 1948, when it burned down.

DELMAS, SASKATCHEWAN - For elder Jenny Spyglass, returning to the site of a former residential school in Saskatchewan where a search for unmarked graves is underway brought back memories of what she lost.
Spyglass, now in her 70s, was taken to the Delmas/Thunderchild Indian Residential School, located 160 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon, when she was three years old.
Her brother died there of starvation at age four, she said.
