The unmarked graves of 51 children who died at the Brandon Indian Residential School are physically located on a Recreational Vehicle (RV) campsite that now owns the former school property. Grand Chief Arlen Dumas of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) wants the city of Brandon to protect the unmarked graves that are now part of a RV campsite. “History hasn’t been properly acknowledged when it comes to the Brandon Indian Residential School,” explained Grand Chief Dumas. “We need to remember these children by ensuring that each one of them has a marked grave.”

The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs encourages the City of Brandon and the current owners of the Turtle Crossing RV Park to move forward on Call to Action # 75 from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada
