Is it possible there was a plague? Are there any reasons there could be graves besides just abuse/murder? It doesn't say anything about the condition of the bodies.
Cowessess knowledge keeper Florence Sparvier, 80, attended the Marieval Indian Residential School and shared some of her experiences at the school during the news conference Thursday.
She said she was taken to the school by her parents. At that time, parents who didn't send their children to school had to spend time in jail, she said.
She said it was "pounded" into students that the cultures they learned at home were wrong.

They were Indian students taken from their families. I’m sure they were abused.
Thanks!
