A community of Canadian natives announced that it had identified 93 other "potential" graves on the site of a former Catholic college in western Canada, months after the scandal that rocked the country.
Preliminary research using geo-radar has identified what could be "potential human burials," Williams Lake First Nation in British Columbia said in a news release.
The searches were carried out on a perimeter of about 14 hectares, among the 480 that make up the site of the former college of the Mission of St. Joseph, located about 300 kilometers north of Kamloops where the remains of 215 children were eventually found of May.
The institute took in thousands of children between 1886 and until its closure in 1981. It was run "by various religious sects" and mainly by Catholic missionaries on the orders of the Canadian government, explains the indigenous community which has about 800 members.
