National Gathering on Unmarked Burials
Over the past three days, we attended the National Gathering on Unmarked Burials. Participants discussed the important work their communities are undertaking to identify and locate missing children and unmarked graves. Speakers called for the removal of barriers that prevent Indigenous Nations from accessing historical documents and clearly stated that all work related to residential schools must by guided by survivors.
Yesterday, Ryan Shackleton led a workshop at the National Gathering on Unmarked Burials discussing best practices for researching the missing children. Ryan shared tips on how to create a research plan, as well as how to locate relevant documents, access restricted archives, and securely store your research. We are honoured to have attended this gathering and have had the opportunity to share knowledge with Nations across the country who are undertaking this sacred work.
