据省级消息人士证实,省政府已购得曼尼托巴省西南部的一处私人露营地,该地已被识别出可能存在无标记的原住民寄宿学校墓地。

The provincial government has bought a private southwestern Manitoba campground where potential unmarked residential school graves have been identified. The province on Monday acquired the Turtle Crossing Campground property in Brandon, a provincial source has confirmed.

消息人士称,省长瓦布·金尤(Wab Kinew)将于周三(即加拿大全国真相与和解日,也被称为橙衫日)在该地点献上一处纪念碑。

Premier Wab Kinew will dedicate a memorial at the site on Wednesday, Canada's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day, the source said.

据信该地点安葬着被迫就读布兰登寄宿学校(Brandon Residential School)的儿童。该学校于1895年开学,1972年关闭,据信该墓地曾在1896年至1912年期间使用。

The site is believed to hold graves belonging to children who were forced to attend the Brandon Residential School, which opened in 1895 and closed in 1972 believed the burial site was used between 1896 and 1912.

这片土地于20世纪20年代被布兰登市接管,并在20世纪60年代被开发成休闲区和露营地。该市于2001年将其出售,使其成为私营露营地。

The land was taken over by the City of Brandon in the 1920s and developed into a recreational area and campground in the 1960s. It was sold by the city in 2001 and became a privately owned campground.

邻近的苏族山达科他民族(Sioux Valley Dakota Nation)拥有原寄宿学校旧址的土地,他们与大学研究人员合作,以确认在学校中去世的所有儿童。

Nearby Sioux Valley Dakota Nation, which owns the land where the residential school once stood, has partnered with university researchers to identify all children who died at the school.

苏族山达科他民族酋长詹妮弗·博恩(Jennifer Bone)此前表示,2018年的一次初步地理勘测在海龟十字露营地(Turtle Crossing Campground)识别出56处潜在墓地。

An initial geographical survey in 2018 identified 56 potential gravesites at Turtle Crossing Campground Sioux Valley Chief Jennifer Bone previously said.

曼尼托巴基韦蒂诺维奥基马卡纳克(MKO)和苏族山达科他民族呼吁省政府保护私人土地上的无标记墓地。博恩此前表示,墓地的围栏和纪念标记在2000年代中期被拆除,自20世纪20年代以来,墓地一再遭到开发商的干扰和破坏。

MKO and Sioux Valley Dakota Nation call on province to protect unmarked grave sites on private land A fence and memorial marking at the cemetery were removed in the mid-2000s Bone previously said the graves have been repeatedly disturbed and damaged by developers since the 1920s.

2023年,自2012年以来一直在寻找无标记墓地的原住民第一民族与倡导组织曼尼托巴基韦蒂诺维奥基马卡纳克呼吁省政府将该露营地指定为省级历史遗址,以便更好地保护它。

In 2023, the First Nation, which has been searching for unmarked graves since 2012, and advocacy group Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak called on the province to designate the campground a provincial heritage site to better protect it.
