In Canada, over 160 unmarked graves have been found at the former Kuper Island Industrial School
Ottawa, July 14 (RHC)-- In Canada, over 160 unmarked graves have been found at the former Kuper Island Industrial School, which operated as a boarding school for Indigenous children from 1890 to 1975 on Penelakut Tribe territory.
This is the latest in a series of recent discoveries of hundreds of other unmarked graves, which have shed light on the brutality of former government-funded boarding schools run by the Catholic Church across Canada. Some 150,000 Indigenous children were sent to the schools, many separated from their families.
