Deaths of at least 36 children are recorded at the site but Chief Chris Skead says survivor testimonies indicate a significantly higher death toll
The discovery of 171 “plausible burials” at a former residential school in northern Ontario has retraumatized the First Nation that announced the finding, its chief said, with efforts underway to ensure residents have the mental health support they need.
“ are so, so, so many horrific stories that happened within those walls and you’re lucky to survive, to come out, have children … The ones that didn’t have that opportunity are still yet to be found.”The chief said he’s been feeling overwhelmed by the news as his older siblings, parents and grandparents all attended the institution.
Most of the discoveries that were announced this week involved unmarked potential burials, except for five with grave markers. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission has said the former residential school was attended by more than 6,000 Indigenous children between 1897 and 1972. Indigenous Affairs Ontario said it is working with the community’s representatives to figure out specific funding needs and timelines so that additional support can be made available.
Arndt said securing more funding from the province to continue those investigations and help start new ones has been a key priority for advocates and survivors since 2021, when the first set of remains in Canada were found on the grounds of a residential school in Kamloops, B.C.
