"Our thoughts are with the families of those who attended the Alberni Indian Residential School.

"The reveals by thec̓išaaʔatḥ (Tseshaht)First Nation of 17 unmarked graves and records showing 67 students died remind us that we need to ask questions and ensure the stories of the survivors and students who never came home are not forgotten.
