Montreal. Canadá se vio sacudida este jueves por el hallazgo de cientos de tumbas anónimas en un lugar donde funcionaba un internado para estudiantes indígenas gestionado por la Iglesia católica, menos de un mes después de la aparición de los restos de 215 niños en otro centro similar.

Los líderes de la comunidad y la Federación de Naciones Indígenas Soberanas de Saskatchewan anunciaron en conferencia de prensa que se trata de 751 tumbas cerca del antiguo internado de Marieval, en la provincia de Saskatchewan.
