The remains of 215 indigenous children who were forcibly removed from their families have been found at a mass grave at a former school in Canada.
The grave was found on the site of a former residential school set up by the Roman Catholic church in 1890, which was closed in 1969. It was part of a network of establishments across Canada set up to assimilate native children.
According to one estimate, more than 150,000 children were sent to the schools, where they were banned from speaking their own languages or following their cultural traditions.
Thousands went missing from the institutions, some of whom died and some ran away. Abuse was rife, but families were threatened with jail if they did not surrender their children to them.
