Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his "heart breaks" after the discovery of more unmarked graves on the grounds of an Indigenous residential school in the southern Gulf Islands off the British Columbia coast.
The Penelakut Tribe says more than 160 undocumented and unmarked graves have been found on the site of the former Kuper Island Indian Industrial School.
"I recognize these findings only deepen the pain that families, survivors and all Indigenous peoples and communities are already feeling as they reaffirm truth that they have long known," Trudeau said during a news conference Tuesday in Ottawa.
"To members of the Penelakut Tribe we are here for you. We cannot bring back those who are lost but we can and will continue to tell the truth," Trudeau said.

I concurr with MSG Hutchison. We all know the attitude that was prevalent then and still is with some people today.

i doubt there are any school records but if there are, the Canadian government needs to do everything in its' power to reunite these children with their families.
