Cowessess First Nation Chief Cadmus Delorme told CBC's chief political correspondent, Rosemary Barton, that survivors of the Marieval Indian Residential School are standing together to get stronger after a vigil was held Saturday night. He wants to put names on 751 unmarked graves discovered last week and says the site is being treated as a crime scene.
