CanadaResidential School Children Repatriation Bill in NWT
A proposed bill in the Northwest Territories aims to formalize the process of identifying and returning the remains of children who died at residential schools.
Background

Thousands died due to neglect and abuse, with many buried in unmarked graves. Efforts to locate and repatriate these remains are ongoing, addressing a dark chapter in Canadian history and supporting reconciliation.
