A Guatemala-based forensic anthropology organization is extending its hand to Indigenous Peoples looking to potentially recover remains of children on the grounds of former residential schools in Canada.
Fredy Peccerelli, a founding member of the Guatemalan Forensic Anthropology Foundation, has been working for nearly 30 years to bring home bodies of the “disappeared”— Maya civilians who were killed during the 36-year civil war in Guatemala that ended in 1996.
Kimberly Murray, the federally appointed special interlocutor for missing children and unmarked graves and burial sites, has cited the Guatemalan organization’s work as an example of how things could unfold in Canada.
A recent report from the Senate’s Indigenous Peoples committee quoted Murray expressing concerns with the federal government’s handling of potential residential school searches.
In a recent interview, Worme said he was hired by Tk’emlups te Secwepemc in the days after the 215 anomalies were publicly announced, mainly to assist with managing communications and the legal implications of what was happening.
Last month, members of Minegoziibe Anishinabe, a First Nation located northwest of Winnipeg, began work with archeologists and scientists from Brandon University to search the grounds of the former Pine Creek Residential School.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
