The Lac La Ronge Indian Band began a search for unmarked graves at a cemetery on the site of two former residential schools in downtown La Ronge on Thursday.
The search is being led by survivors of the schools. Elders and support-workers will be present throughout to offer support and guidance in the community. Ceremonies began on Thursday with the lighting of a sacred fire and will conclude with a community feast on Monday.
