EDMONTON -- Searching for unmarked burial sites is a painstaking process that not all Indigenous communities could be immediately ready for after the remains of more than 200 children were found at a former residential school in British Columbia, says an anthropologist who has done similar projects on the Prairies.
“Just a note of caution - we can't just show up with our equipment and run surveys tomorrow,” says Kisha Supernant, an anthropology professor at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.
“This is a delicate, sensitive process that requires such care. And communities must decide what would be the right way forward.”
