Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation is asking for improved access to information to determine how many of the community’s 202 missing children, who went missing between 1907 and 1968, died while attending residential school.
The community leaders said they are “confident” 82 of the children have been located and may be in 62 unmarked graves near the former site of St. Francois Xavier boarding school, also known as the Sturgeon Lake Residential School.
