Special interlocutor releases final report into missing kids, unmarked at residential school graves
A final report into missing children and unmarked graves at residential schools is calling on the federal government to create an Indigenous-led national commission with a 20-year mandate to investigate missing and disappeared Indigenous children.Kimberly Murray, Canada’s special interlocutor on unmarked graves, released her final report Tuesday in Gatineau, Que., during a gathering with Indigenous residential school survivors and experts from across the country.
“It fulfils a highly-personal, yet universal human need to know what happened to deceased loved ones and to mourn, bury and memorialize them according to the laws, spiritual beliefs and practices of one’s own culture.” Her final report comes after two years of engagement with survivors and Indigenous communities across Canada.
Among them are a call for Canada to refer the disappearance of children from residential schools as a crime against humanity to the International Criminal Court.
