This is the best summary I could come up with:
Kimberly Murray, a federally appointed official tasked with recommending a new framework for the treatment of these sites, outlines the conclusion in a report released Wednesday.
"Government and church officials made decisions and created policies that led to the deliberate desecration of the burial sites of Indigenous children.
“Through both their actions and failures to act, the government and church entities created the crisis of missing and disappeared children and unmarked burials that survivors, Indigenous families, and communities are facing today.”
“We will take the time to give proper consideration to the Special Interlocutor’s recommendations as we await her final report expected this fall,” wrote spokesperson Chantalle Aubertin.
“We acknowledge the profound pain that this report brings to light and recognize the ongoing trauma experienced by Indigenous Peoples as a result of these atrocities,” wrote spokesperson Matthieu Perrotin, when asked if the minister accepts Murray’s conclusion.
Public records suggest some children who died at Chooutla Indian Residential School along Nares Lake in Yukon were buried in the Carcross cemetery, the report says.
