Over 160 graves found at former residential school on B.C. island, First Nation says.......A B.C. First Nation in the Southern Gulf Islands says more than 160 undocumented and unmarked graves have been found on the site of a former residential school within their territory.

The Penelakut Tribe issued a letter on Thursday saying the graves were found on the grounds of the former Kuper Island Indian Industrial School, which was located on what is now known as Penelakut Island between Vancouver Island and mainland B.C.

The letter was shared on social media by the nearby Cowichan Tribes on Vancouver Island and other local First Nations.

The Penelakut Tribe said it is holding several events in late July and early August to bring awareness and to allow survivors of the residential school to heal.
