On May 28 this year, the remains of 215 aboriginal children were found at the site of an Indian boarding school in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. The Kamloops Sekwipek First Nations will be held on July 15 local time. The press conference announced the initial report obtained by using ground penetrating radar to detect this area.
Sarah Beaulieu, a ground-penetrating radar expert, announced that she confirmed that another tomb where 200 children may be buried was found near the old boarding school site. After forensic investigation and excavation, the actual number may be even higher.
In addition to the 215 child remains that have been confirmed before, the number of indigenous children buried in this boarding school and nearby areas has reached more than 400.
In this "Report on the Missing of Kamloops Indian Boarding School", ground-penetrating radar experts introduced the detection methods and judgment basis they used, as well as the detection process and current progress.
Rosanna Kassmir, Chief of Secvipek, Roseanne Archibald, Chief of the First Nation, and representatives of the survivors of this boarding school attended the press conference.
Cassmill said, "We are not for revenge, we are for telling the truth, we are here today to miss those children."
Currently, the press conference is still in progress.
