STORYLINE:
CTV News reported Tuesday that a First Nation has found 79 suspected child grave sites and 14 potential infant grave sites at a former residential school in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Ninety-three pink flags were placed to mark each anomaly.
The findings are expected to impact 16 communities in the northwest, both First Nations and Metis, which had children attend the school.
English River First Nation said its ground-penetrating radar (GPR) search began two years ago. The initial area was searched because of stories told by survivors. The search of the school grounds is next and will continue to be guided by stories of survivors.
According to CTV News, Beauval Indian Residential School was first founded in 1860 and operated for more than 100 years, according to the Unive
