Chief Mark Hill said that this is an important but necessary requirement for a full investigation.

“This is really for justice,” Chief Maxill told CBC News.

“I don’t know how we can’remembrance’ and’thought and pray’ when we still have someone worthy of justice.”

Hill made this request in a letter on June 11 to Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Royal Relations with Indigenous Peoples, and Marc Miller, Minister of Indigenous Services.

Hill wrote in a letter obtained by CBC News: “To this day, there are still many rumors in the community about where our children were buried.”

“Now is the time to find them so they can rest.”

Hill also wrote to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last month, calling on the government to provide tools to search the site of the former Mohawk Institute, now the Woodland Cultural Center in Brantford, Ontario.

Money is just the beginning

Hill said the community created a working group of boarding school survivors and political and administrative support to guide the search. Found unmarked graveyard believed to be the remains of children Adjacent to a former boarding school in Kamloops, British Columbia

Hill said that $10 million was just the beginning, and he was not sure if it was enough.

The former Mohawk College run by the Anglican Church is Canada’s first and longest-running boarding school.

The school was burned twice and changed locations, which is why Hill said it needed a large-scale inspection.

He said that the children were also forced to work hard on the surrounding farmland. Development has encroached on the area, and Hill said this raises concerns about the feasibility of finding possible cemeteries.

“We don’t have all the answers right now, but we know we need to start these searches as soon as possible,” Hill said.

Hill said he also wants to see a criminal investigation and supports the call of Murray Sinclair, the former chief commissioner of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, to investigate the cemetery at the former boarding school site.

Hill said: “We can’t just walk down the memorial lane.”

“It’s not enough.”

Need help yesterday

Hill said that before announcing the $27.1 million residential school website search fund last week, he did not participate in negotiations with the federal government, nor did he engage in any direct dialogue with Ottawa on how to obtain funding.

He said that it is challenging for the community to think about the amount of work required and the dollar figures.

Hill said the money will be used to conduct inspections and provide support to survivors.

The chiefs and councils of the six Rio Grande countries are waiting for responses from Royal Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett and Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller.

Bennett said Thursday that the federal government is urgently allocating funds for cemetery searches.

“We are actively reaching out to indigenous communities to work with them,” Bennett said.

“The community knows what they need, and our government will be there to support them along the way.”

The money is intended to help indigenous communities develop plans, conduct research, and collect information to identify cemeteries, commemorate and return the remains.

Hill said he would love to see the money yesterday.

“We are talking about reconciliation in this country. In fact, I’m tired of the word because I don’t know what it means now.”
