The U.S. Interior Department announced on Wednesday that its investigation into Indian boarding schools has found "marked or unmarked burial sites" at 53 schools.
The conditions at the former boarding schools gained global attention last year when Indigenous leaders in Canada announced the discovery of the unmarked graves of 215 children at the site of the former Kamloops residential school of Indigenous children in British Columbia.
The discovery of the graves in Canada prompted Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, whose own parents attended such schools in the U.S., to announce her agency would search the grounds of former schools to identify any remains.
Haaland said her department had once been responsible for operating 408 federal boarding schools across 37 states, or then territories, including 21 in Alaska and seven schools in Hawaii.
