Original Note:
Unverified claim presented as fact. The possible unmarked graves are "anomalies" found by ground penetrating radar. They can't be confirmed without excavation. After three years, no graves have been found. There has been no excavation. https://www.castanetkamloops.net/news/Kamloops/346110/Band-says-no-excavation-work-has-taken-place-at-former-residential-school#:~:text=Beaulieu%2C%20a%20ground%2Dpenetrating%20radar%20specialist%20who%20carried%20out%20the%20work%20for%20the%20band%2C%20said%20she%20found%20200%20%E2%80%9Canomalies%E2%80%9D%20that%20were%20likely%20burials%2C%20but%20said%20the%20find%20could%20not%20be%20confirmed%20without%20excavation https://globalnews.ca/news/10390953/kamloops-indian-residential-school-update-historic-agreement/#:~:text=excavation%20of%20the%20suspected%20unmarked%20graves%20of%20children%20who%20attended%20the%20Kamloops%20Indian%20Residential%20School%20has%20not%20yet%20started
