George Gordon First Nation, west of Yorkton, has announced as many as 14 graves have been found at the site of a former residential school.

The former George Gordon Indian Residential School was run by the Anglican Church from 1888 to 1996 and is considered one of the worst run by the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation. Chief Byron Bitternose says there are still large areas to search on the site west of Yorkton, with the investigation expected to last about 10 more years.
