The discovery of remains of residential school victims in Kamloops is leaving many in the RMWB calling for action.
Over the weekend, the remains of 215 Indigenous children were found buried which has once again highlighted the injustices these schools committed for decades.
For years, children were taken from their families, many never having the chance to be re-united, and suffered from both physical and mental abuse.
Despite many believing these atrocities took place well before their time, the last residential closed in 1996.
“We have heard the stories of what happened at the schools from our elders and family members who survived and who are still with us today,” said Bill Loutitt, CEO of the McMurray Métis.
