The leader of the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc says it is still working its way through consultations with other neighbouring First Nations before beginning any excavation of the residential school site that made global headlines three years ago.
Sarah Beaulieu, a modern conflict anthropologist who teaches at the University of the Fraser Valley east of Vancouver, said in the summer of 2021, several weeks after her team’s preliminary findings were released, that the discovery can’t be confirmed unless excavations are done at the scene. Archbishop J. Michael Miller, who will attend a formal ceremony on Tk’emlúps territory on Easter Sunday, said the agreement opens a “new chapter” in the relationship between First Nations and the church, which recognizes its complicity in the Canadian government’s colonialist policies toward First Nations and the “resulting tragedies” from the residential school system.
