The facility was used to treat Indigenous people with tuberculosis for decades and some believed former patients may have been buried on the grounds. The site located at 128th Street and 114th Avenue has been slated for the construction of residential properties.Thirteen spots flagged by ground-penetrating radar were dug up earlier this summer. Over the past two days another 21 such anomalies were uncovered but only found debris.No further searches of the site are planned. Chief Calvin Bruneau of the Papaschase First Nation said he has mixed feelings about the results. He said there are lingering concerns given all the accounts of people being buried at the site."What happened to them? That's something there that is a big question for me, if they were removed and reburied somewhere else." Like an urban legend, these people like to tell themselves about White boogeymen and mass graves. Should have left the TB patients with their tribes, then you really would have some mass graves, only no one left to *itch about it. Can we take the orange ribbons and crap down from our schools now? They'll just end up blowing off and littering are streets eventually anyways...
