Ottawa pledges $321 million to search for residential school graves and support survivors

Canada to explore legal changes to better deal with discoveries at residential schools

RCI

The federal government is committing $321 million in new money for programs to help Indigenous communities search burial sites at former residential schools and to support survivors and their communities.

Justice Minister David Lametti said he will appoint a special interlocutor to work with Indigenous communities and the government to propose changes to federal laws, policies and practices that are related to unmarked graves at residential schools.

Speaking to a virtual news conference today, he said Canada currently does not have the legal tools needed to deal with the complex issues presented by discoveries of unmarked graves.

Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett said $83 million will be added to an existing $27-million program to fund searches of burial sites and commemorate the children who died at residential schools.

She said the government will create a national advisory committee — made up of experts in archeology, forensics, pathology and mental health — to advise Indigenous communities and the government about finding and identifying unmarked graves.

Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller said the government will spend $107 million on programs to provide essential mental health, culture and emotional services to help communities recover from intergenerational trauma.

He said the government will provide $100 million over two years to help Indigenous communities manage residential school buildings, whether those plans include demolition, rehabilitation or the construction of new facilities.

Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault said the government is setting aside $20 million to build a national monument in Ottawa that honours the survivors and all the children who were lost.

He said the new monument will be a commemorative space where Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples can gather to express their collective grief and find a way forward to heal together.

Commitment comes after hundreds of graves discovered at former schools

Several Indigenous communities have announced since spring that hundreds of unmarked graves have been located at the sites of former residential schools.

In June, the Lower Kootenay Band in British Columbia said a search using ground-penetrating radar had found what are believed to be 182 human remains at a site close to a former residential school in Cranbrook.

Cowessess First Nation earlier said that ground-penetrating radar detected 751 unmarked graves at the former Marieval Indian Residential School east of Regina, Sask., a few weeks after the discovery of what are believed to be the remains of 215 children in Kamloops, B.C.

The Squamish Nation in the Vancouver area was set to make an announcement on Tuesday about the former St. Paul’s Indian Residential School.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is widely expected to call an election soon and his government’s record on Indigenous reconciliation is set to be a major issue.

Late last month, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh met with Indigenous leaders at the site of the former Kamloops Indian School and demanded that Trudeau to make good on his six-year-old promise to fulfil all 94 calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

In case you didn’t realize, the word “dans” on your site is spelled incorrectly. I had similar issues on my website which hurt my credibility until someone pointed it out and I discovered some of the services like SpellHelper.com or SpellingCheck.com which help with these type of issues.
