2 residential schools operated in or near Keeseekoose First Nation
Ground penetrating radar survey efforts at former residential school sites around Keeseekoose First Nation in Saskatchewan found 54 potential gravesites, the community announced Tuesday.
At a news conference hosted in the community, about 235 kilometres northeast of Regina, officials said they searched locations in Keeseekoose based on oral history shared by survivors and knowledge keepers.
“Today we are announcing that there were 54 hits,” Ted Quewezance, project manager for the search, said on Tuesday.
