Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation working to preserve integrity of investigative findings, says Rosanne Casimir
Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc chief says the investigation into the unmarked graves at the Kamloops residential school is ongoing, but the steps are being kept confidential to preserve the integrity of the investigative findings.
The investigators findings, to date, are very consistent with the presence of unmarked graves, but she wanted to share the update due to misinformation and targeted denialism, Casimir said. Casimir said she knows this is difficult information for Canadians to process, adding it's natural that many people have a hard time believing.
She was joined by Vancouver archbishop J. Michael Miller, who was asked by a journalist what he would say to members of his faith who deny there is evidence of graves at the former residential school sites, specifically Bill Donahue the president of the Catholic League in the U.S. Donahue has called for a day of reconciliation for Catholics.
