Denial coming from a British priest ?? That's like Ernst Zundel's denial of the Holocaust.

''Chief Willie Sellars said Wednesday that more evidence is coming to light about the “horror and suffering” faced by Indigenous children forced to attend the St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School, which opened in 1891 and ultimately closed in 1981.

“The history of St. Joseph’s mission and the land surrounding it is very dark,” Sellars said during a news conference.

“Documented evidence is growing every day as we explore archival records and interview survivors and their families.”

The latest 66 “reflections,” found in the ground during a technical survey using ground-penetrating radar, indicate the potential burial of children, investigators said.

Last year 93 such reflections of potential human burials were found near a historic cemetery on the school site, about 20 kilometres from Williams Lake and about 500 kilometres north of Vancouver.''

''The Indian Residential Schools Resolution Health Support Program has a hotline to help residential school survivors and their relatives suffering trauma invoked by the recall of past abuse. The number is 1-866-925-4419.''

What is the count of remains found so far?
