The Penelakut Tribe have issued a letter saying the graves were found on the grounds of the former residential school on what is now known as Penelakut Island between Vancouver Island and mainland B.C., about 78 miles (126 kilometers) southwest of Vancouver. We understand that many of our brothers and sisters from our neighboring communities attended the Kuper Island Industrial School, said the letter from Chief Joan Brown. We also recognize with a tremendous amount of grief and loss, that too many did not return home. The Kuper Island Indian Industrial School was operated by the Roman Catholic Church from 1890 until 1969, when the federal government took it over. The school was closed in 1975 and the building was demolished in the 1980s.
