WARNING: This story contains distressing details.
Organizer Prairie Crowe hopes that a display of 751 backpacks at the Saskatchewan Legislature on Canada Day will provide the province with a stark illustration of the unmarked graves recently found at the former Marieval Indian Residential School. I think that number, 751, just sticks with a lot of people, she told CBC News on Monday.
The FSIN wants all political parties and levels of governments to help them locate and identify the remains of children at residential schools across Saskatchewan.
