Independent Special Interlocutor Kimberly Murray has released her final report after two years of examining the issue of missing and disappeared Indigenous children and unmarked burials sites at residential schools in Canada. After potential unmarked graves were identified at former residential school sites, the Canadian government appointed Murray to make recommendations on unmarked graves and burial sites. The TRC report observed that “the most basic of questions about missing children — Who died? Instead, they were acts of commission: deliberately created situations in which Indigenous children in their care were severely harmed. Murray refers to this as forced disappearances — when the liberty of Indigenous children is taken away and their fate was concealed.
