What an NCAA rule change might mean for junior hockey in Sask.
Nov 18, 2024
Previously, WHL players were declared ineligible to play NCAA hockey in the U.S.
The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) is leading a new investigation into unidentified remains of children at Saskatchewan’s residential schools.
The announcement was made in a Sunday afternoon press release and comes on the heels of a tragic, and major finding at a Kamloops-area residential school late last week. There, the remains of 215 residential school students were found during a similar search.
“The whole world is watching,” said FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron in the Sunday release. “We are consulting with ground penetrating radar experts to find our lost children. However difficult this path will be, we must speak our truth and reclaim our ancestors. We ask all families to come forward with their stories.”
The FSIN executives are calling on the federal Liberal government, Conservatives, the NDP and the Saskatchewan Party to work with them to get the search done in Saskatchewan. Within the release, the FSIN detailed multiple sites that could potentially be the locations of mass graves.
Those sites include the Muskowekwan Indian Residential School (IRS), Onion Lake St. Anthony’s IRS, Beauval IRS, Guy Hill IRS, Lebret IRS, and the Sturgeon Lake IRS.
The FSIN also asked all First Nations across Canada to join in the effort.
More to come.
