Western Standard reports on a Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation survey at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, which used ground-penetrating radar, LiDAR, and detection dogs to rule out burial signatures in some areas while identifying others for further investigation, with no confirmed human remains found to date.
This update follows the 2021 announcement of 215 potential unmarked graves detected by initial radar scans, sparking global outrage and over $200 million in Canadian government funding for similar searches nationwide, though excavations at other sites have yielded limited physical evidence.
Reactions in the thread reflect skepticism toward the original claims, with users demanding apologies and repayment of funds like the $12 million allocated to Kamloops, underscoring ongoing debates about media amplification of preliminary findings versus scientific verification.
