The survivors of St. Augustine’s residential school in Sechelt guided the areas searched with ground-penetrating radar, and their words were validated by the results of the scanning.
I have spent the past few weeks in Sechelt working with shíshálh Nation. I was asked to assist the Nation with communications as it revealed the recent results of archaeological research on the former grounds of St. Augustine’s residential school.
This week, I have done the same, but it was different. I sat in many meetings where chief and council and senior staff worked to determine how and when to share the news. There is no good way to talk about the murder of young children. shíshálh Nation’s primary message is that the words of survivors are the most important. They already knew the truth, and they have for many years.
As news of these findings, and findings of other such investigations across Canada, come to light, be mindful of questions you ask. Even a simple question that seems innocent and respectful can be triggering to Elders and other community members. Remember, this is their story to share, not our story to ask.
The response was that it was less work digging smaller holes. There are many survivor accounts across Canada of children being forced to dig graves for their peers.
