The radar search for graves at the former residential school site at Delmas could take many more months before it is fully complete.
Battlefords Agency Tribal Chiefs project lead on the ground searches, Karen Whitecalf, says more areas for this site still need to be searched.
She said the land changed hands so it is not easy to know where the graves would be located exactly.
