Search of Sagkeeng First Nation seeks remains of residential school victims
The Sagkeeng community funds a drone and ground penetrating radar search of the Fort Alexander Residential School site, open 1905 to 1970, to locate remains of children from 21 communities. Chief Henderson says survivors long felt unheard, and elders are consulted as crews comb river banks and fields with ceremony and respect. The effort aims to rewrite a missing part of Canadian history and right a grave wrong.
