Chief Byron Bitternose of George Gordon First Nation, west of Yorkton, will be releasing the details of a ground search at the site of a former residential school. The George Gordon Indian Residential School was founded by the Anglican Church in 1888 and ran until 1996.
The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation called the school one of the worst runs in the entire residential school system, and say they have 49 student deaths on record. A spokeswoman for the First Nation, Sarah Longman, says the search has been challenging for the community and for those who attended George Gordon Indian Residential School.
