Thousands of children from Canadian schools for indigenous communities may be buried in unmarked graves, officials say

The first forensic evidence that unmarked graves in their hundreds were located at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School was a juvenile rib bone and tooth found beneath the apple orchard.

But survivors of the school say they didn't need forensic proof to know that hundreds of children went missing in Kamloops. And this week, new scientific evidence supported what indigenous elders in the Canadian province of British Columbia call the "Knowing." In an emotional presentation by the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation on Thursday, officials investigating the unmarked graves warned that more were likely to be found in the coming months.
