In Saskatchewan, the Cowesses First Nation held a vigil Saturday, as the community continues to grieve after the discovery of hundreds of Indigenous residential school children believed to be buried in unmarked graves.

Chasity Delorme is a member of Cowessess First Nation, and although she didn’t attend the school, her parents and grandparents on both sides of her family did.

“It was important for me to be with my community, with my leadership, and take part in the process of honouring the children that went through residential school – the survivors who went through,” Delorme said.

As Heather Yourex-West explains, there's still much work to be done, as mourning accompanies anger toward the Catholic Church.

Anyone experiencing pain or distress as a result of their residential school experience can access this 24-hour, toll-free and confidential National Indian Residential School Crisis Line at 1-866-925-4419.
