Except no specific person is even alleged to have been buried there. If you read the article, it goes into this. No one pointed and said my relative is buried there. They listened to some unsubstantiated rumours and started scanning the ground in the area for bodies. The only thing they found was abnormalities in an apple orchard where you would expect them due to the tree roots. There are no un-accounted-for bodies. Even if there are remains there (unlikely but possible), no ownership of them can be established so no one actually can object to the exhumation at this point. Here is the relevant quote from the article:
Reliable death records exist and report no mass graves. The government of Canada did an in-depth analysis of the goings on at Indian Residential Schools as part of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission which took place between June 2008 and mid-December 2015. The most reliable information was collected from all over the country at that time, and all deaths at the Kamloops school were accounted for.
You should not blindly believe what you see in the Canadian press. I'm not sure what evidence would be required to convince you that they are dishonest. I have tried to point out their lies to you, but that is all I can do.
Oral records of missing students and childhood memories of digging graves is what prompted the search. I don't really place a lot of faith in those, especially the extreme fallibility of memories. If I doubt the woman who claimed to remember being abducted by the royal family every night to be abused by reptilians, I'd be a hypocrite to accept memories of other trauma victims as fact.
The water is murky, but I feel the history of the residential schools stands on its own.

So now you trust government analyses? ;)
