Wauzhushk Onigum Nation says ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has detected more than 170 anomalies during a search for unmarked graves at the site of a former residential school in Kenora, Ont.

The anomalies, referred to as "plausible burials," were found in cemetery grounds associated with the former St. Mary's Indian Residential School, Wauzhushk Onigum Nation said in a media release Tuesday. [...]

"With the exception of five grave markers, the remaining are unmarked by any grave or burial markers," the release said. "The site has been secured consistent with the Nation's Anishinaabe protocols."

Wauzhushk Onigum Chief Chris Skead told CBC News the searches of the site are "survivor driven."

"Here in Wauzhushk Onigum, we have a little over 50 survivors that would have attended in the '40s, '50s, '60s, and basically when it closed," he said Tuesday. "They were difficult discussions, obviously, because you're going back in time [to] when they were children, which obviously wasn't a safe time to be Anishinaabe, just with the policy from the Crown government."

Skead said those discussions with survivors led to the identification of areas that were searched.

Wauzhushk Onigum said it plans to investigate the anomalies further and conduct searches at additional sites "that have been identified through survivor testimony, archeological assessment and archival investigations that show burial rituals being conducted by former residential school staff," the release said.

"Indigenous leaders and the provincial government have opened a centre in northwest Ontario aimed at addressing the overrepresentation of Indigenous people in the justice system.

Attorney General Doug Downey says the new justice centre in Kenora, Ont., will hold individuals accountable while providing wraparound supports for health care, education, housing and other social services.

The centre itself is in a building owned by the Kenora Chiefs Advisory and not in a courthouse.

The goal is to reduce future contact with the justice system.

The centre will work with elders and local community organizations to provide Indigenous-led programs and help people heal from trauma.

Grand Council Treaty #3’s grand chief says it is critical the criminal justice system addresses the overrepresentation of Indigenous people in jails and prisons."

First Distance  // Guy Birchard

Elderly man boarded the Greyhound at Kenora.                                 I cleared my bag from my side so he could sit. White hair. Ojibway? He didn't speak. We didn't                 speak. I was remembering paddling out of                           Kenora twenty-three years before, and almost                         told him about it, but didn't. He sat. I dozed.                         We rode. After a time I dug out the trail-mix,                             asked him if he'd want some. Cranberries. No                                   more words. He took a handful, a small handful.                     When he brushed his palms I offered the sack                         and he took a small handful. We got off the bus separately at a rest stop and I saw him once             unaccompanied in the crowd. In the men's room I was faintly surprised to                             hear suppressed weeping from the next stall.                         Faintly. You never know, travelling like that. It                       didn't sound desperate. It sounded...reticent. I expected the old man to board the bus when                             it left. He hadn't indicated he was going to, just                   somehow I expected it, but he didn't show                                   and the driver's head-count seemed to tally so                           we pulled away of course. Many miles and hours later I found beneath the                         seat beside me a plain white plastic shopping                               bag with a sweater, fairly new, new enough the                       nylon bit thrift stores secure price tags with                             was still hanging in the label at the neck. Also                                 in the bag, a worn tooth-brush stogged in a box                           of CREST. That's it. Anonymous. Unclaimed. I don't know.
