Canada ’s special interlocutor on unmarked graves released her final report Tuesday in Gatineau , Que ., during a gathering with Indigenous residential school survivors and experts from across the country.

More than 150,000 Indigenous children were forced to attend residential schools, the last of which closed in 1996 .

An estimated 6,000 children died in the schools, though experts say the actual number could be much higher.

“We will take the time to review the four volumes of the report.” Murray told those in attendance at the gathering that she remains hopeful about the future, and offered words of encouragement for those who will continue with this work. “Don’t lose your languages. Don’t let the ceremonies die,” Murray said. “Be strong as you continue to tell your truth. Be strong as you continue to fight.”.
