Newsday - Gruesome discovery at third indigenous school in Canada - BBC Sounds

Usually the 1st July is a day of celebration in Canada, but today is being marked with a grim cloud over it. Just hours before the National Day celebrations kicked off came another gruesome discovery - 182 unmarked graves unearthed at a third Canadian indigenous residential school.

This time it's St Eugene's school in British Colombia. It follows last week's discovery of over 700 bodies of children at another institution run by the Catholic Church.

Percy Casper - an Indigenous Canadian - says contact with European colonisers was a disaster for his people. As a five year old he was sent to the Kamloops residential school and remained there for a decade.

"I survived ten years of abuse."
