After more than a year of research and examination with ground-penetrating radar devices, a First Nation on Vancouver Island will release its preliminary findings on its search of the former Alberni Indian Residential School (AIRS).
The Tseshaht First Nation began its search of the former residential school in 2022, at a time when many First Nations across the province and Canada were searching former residential school sites for unmarked graves and other significant artifacts.
The Tseshaht First Nation now plans to release what it calls "phase one" of its findings of the search on Tuesday, Feb. 21. The nation says the information will be presented by a research team, and is the product of 18 months of scanning and research.
