This week's emergency debate in the House of Commons showcases ongoing political reaction to the disturbing news of a mass grave at the Kamloops Indian Residential School site in B.C. A memorial for those who died at Kamloops takes place at the last-standing residential school building in Saskatchewan, a province said to have its own share of IRS-related horrors. The director of the Institute of Prairie and Indigenous Archaeology at the University of Alberta shares her thoughts on the push to deploy ground-penetrating radar at other residential school sites. Calls grow to remove landmarks and memorials named after Bishop Vital Justin Grandin, the Roman Catholic priest who championed residential schools.
