After 58 years of searching, a residential school survivor finds her baby brother's grave

That last time Eliza Beardy saw her baby brother Isaias Harper was in 1955, when she was taken from her home in Garden Hill First Nation to the Norway House Indian Residential School. 

"I remember being put onto a plane, it looked like these water bombers, the ones that fly around here," said Beardy. 

"I don't remember having seen seats in there … we were all just packed like a bunch of sardines." 

The shoreline where the plane took off was once Beardy's playground. She remembers seeing other planes take off from there, and they would disappear on the horizon.

"I used to think that was the end of the Earth, I used to think, I wonder where they're going, where do they go from here?" said Beardy. 

Her first memory of the Norway House Residential School was that it looked like a "solid rock." Later on she'd come to understand it as an institution. 

Beardy spent her first night at the school sleeping on the floor in the basement, given one small blanket.
