MONTREAL, Aug 30 — An Indigenous community in western Canada has discovered nearly 100 suspected unmarked graves near the site of a former residential school, officials said Tuesday.

“What we found was heartbreaking and devastating,” Jenny Wolverine, chief of the English River First Nation Indigenous group, told a news conference. “To date, there are 93 potential unmarked graves, 79 children and 14 infants.”The discoveries, near the site of what was the Beauval Indian residential school in the province of Saskatchewan, were made using ground-penetrating radar.

Between the late 19th century and the mid-1990s, some 150,000 Indigenous children were forced into 139 residential schools across Canada, where they were cut off from their family, language and culture. Managed by the Catholic Church and the Canadian government, the schools had an explicit objective to “kill the Indian” in the heart of the child.
