A First Nation in north-central British Columbia says it has discovered several potential unmarked graves on the grounds of a residential school, following the use of ground-penetrating radar. The Nadleh Whut'en First Nation announced the preliminary findings of an ongoing search of the grounds of the Lejac Indian Residential School on Saturday afternoon. An estimated 7,850 Indigenous children were forced to attend the residential school, which operated about 140 kilometres west of Prince George, B.C., from 1922 until 1976, according to the nation. An undated picture of the Lejac Indian Residential School, which was located on the banks of Fraser Lake in north-central B.C. (Verne Solonas/Nadleh Whut'en First Nation) The nation's Saturday announcement is the latest of several by First Nations across Canada as they take up the task of surveying the sites of former residential schools to search for thousands of children who went missing or died at the church-run institutions. In a statement, Nadleh Whut'en said its search is being led by residential school survivors under the project name "Nez Keh Hubuk'uznootah," which means "Let's look for our children" in the Dakelh language. Nadleh Whut'en to search former Lejac Residential School grounds Analysis What comes next in the search for missing residential school children? "The abuses endured at Lejac and other Indian Residential Schools are not just a thing of the past," said Nadleh Whut'en Chief Beverly Ketlo in a statement. "The horrors experienced at Lejac are still very real for the survivors who lived through this genocide. Hundreds of people have died as adults due to the trauma they experienced there." LISTEN | Chiefs speak about search for unmarked graves: Daybreak North 8:10 First Nations searching former residential school site for possible unmarked graves Over 7,000 children attended Lejac Indian Residential School between 1922 and 1976. The nation says there will be further geophysical surveys conducted in consultation with survivors in the years to come. Ground-penetrating radar is among a series of methods being used to search the grounds of former residential schools. The tool does not identify human remains, but instead looks for anomalies in the soil. This photo shows a technician using ground-penetrating radar at the site of the former Lejac Indian Residential School in north-central B.C. (Submitted by Nadleh Whut'en First Nation) Nadleh Whut'en says its search using the technology began in late 2023. Unlike many other residential schools, Lejac featured a cemetery next to the school since it was founded in 1922. The First Nation says its survey looked at other parts of the grounds that were identified by survivors, and over 142,500 square metres of ground was searched. It says that matching the survey results with archival records showed a number of potential unmarked graves. Children from 70 nations attended Ketlo told CBC News earlier this year that plans to search the Lejac grounds got underway after the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation announced that ground-penetrating radar had detected about 200 potential burial sites at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in 2021. "The impact of that announcement sent a shock wave through all the First Nations communities," Ketlo told CBC's Daybreak North host Carolina De Ryk in May. "Our nation has a long history of trauma associated with the Lejac Indian Residential School and we carry a heavy burden in stewarding this site, since children from over 70 nations attended the institution." The school made national headlines in 1937 when four boys — a nine-year-old, an eight-year-old and two seven-year-olds — were found dead , their bodies frozen, after they ran away and tried to cross nearby Fraser Lake. In March 1937, the Indian Commissioner of B.C. investigated the deaths of four boys who had run away from Lejac Residential School. His orders from Ottawa read, 'Understand there is local feeling over tragedy whereby four Indian boys perished at Le Jac School New Years Day. Please investigate fully as soon as possible.' (Nadleh Whut'en First Nation) Nadleh Whut'en says its data was verified by two independent analysts, and also included the use of magnetometry technology to detect conductive metal objects beneath the ground. There is no immediate desire to excavate or exhume the ground where the potential unmarked graves were identified, according to the nation, and it says its team led by residential school survivors would provide input on the next steps in the project. A magnetometer was also used as part of the search for potential unmarked graves at the former Lejac Indian Residential School site. (Submitted by Nadleh Whut'en First Nation) The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation estimates about 4,100 children died at residential schools, based on death records, but has said the true total is likely much higher. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission said large numbers of Indigenous children who were forcibly sent to residential schools never returned home.

The ceasefire, starting at 4 a.m. local time Wednesday, would mark the first major step toward ending the regionwide unrest triggered by Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. But it does not address the devastating war in Gaza , where Hamas is still holding dozens of hostages and the conflict is more intractable. Hours before the ceasefire with Hezbollah was to take effect, Israel carried out the most intense wave of strikes in Beirut and its southern suburbs since the start of the conflict and issued a record number of evacuation warnings. At least 42 people were killed in strikes across the country, according to local authorities. Another huge airstrike shook Beirut shortly after the ceasefire was announced. There appeared to be lingering disagreement over whether Israel would have the right to strike Hezbollah if it believed the militants had violated the agreement, something Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted was part of the deal but which Lebanese and Hezbollah officials have rejected. Israel's security Cabinet approved the U.S.-France-brokered ceasefire agreement after Netanyahu presented it, his office said. U.S. President Joe Biden, speaking in Washington, called the agreement “good news” and said his administration would make a renewed push for a ceasefire in Gaza. The Biden administration spent much of this year trying to broker a ceasefire and hostage release in Gaza but the talks repeatedly sputtered to a halt . President-elect Donald Trump vowed to bring peace to the Middle East without saying how. Still, any halt to the fighting in Lebanon is expected to reduce the likelihood of war between Israel and Iran, which backs both Hezbollah and Hamas and exchanged direct fire with Israel on two occasions earlier this year. Israel says it will ‘attack with might’ if Hezbollah breaks truce Netanyahu presented the ceasefire proposal to Cabinet ministers after a televised address in which he listed accomplishments against Israel’s enemies across the region. He said a ceasefire with Hezbollah would further isolate Hamas in Gaza and allow Israel to focus on its main enemy, Iran. “If Hezbollah breaks the agreement and tries to rearm, we will attack,” he said. “For every violation, we will attack with might.” The ceasefire deal calls for a two-month initial halt in fighting and would require Hezbollah to end its armed presence in a broad swath of southern Lebanon, while Israeli troops would return to their side of the border. Thousands of additional Lebanese troops and U.N. peacekeepers would deploy in the south, and an international panel headed by the United States would monitor compliance. Biden said Israel reserved the right to quickly resume operations in Lebanon if Hezbollah breaks the terms of the truce, but that the deal "was designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities.” Netanyahu’s office said Israel appreciated the U.S. efforts in securing the deal but “reserves the right to act against every threat to its security.” Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati welcomed the ceasefire and described it as a crucial step toward stability and the return of displaced people. Hezbollah has said it accepts the proposal, but a senior official with the group said Tuesday it had not seen the agreement in its final form. “After reviewing the agreement signed by the enemy government, we will see if there is a match between what we stated and what was agreed upon by the Lebanese officials,” Mahmoud Qamati, deputy chair of Hezbollah’s political council, told the Al Jazeera news network.

An Israeli strike on Tuesday leveled a residential building in central Beirut — the second time in recent days warplanes have hit the crowded area near downtown. At least seven people were killed and 37 wounded, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry. Israel also struck a building in Beirut's bustling commercial district of Hamra for the first time, hitting a site around 400 meters (yards) from Lebanon’s Central Bank. There were no reports of casualties. The Israeli military said it struck targets linked to Hezbollah's financial arm. The evacuation warnings covered many areas, including parts of Beirut that previously were not targeted. The warnings sent residents fleeing. Traffic was gridlocked, with mattresses tied to some cars. Dozens of people, some wearing pajamas, gathered in a central square, huddling under blankets or standing around fires as Israeli drones buzzed overhead. Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee issued evacuation warnings for 20 buildings in Beirut's southern suburbs, where Hezbollah has a major presence, as well as a warning for the southern town of Naqoura where the U.N. peacekeeping mission, UNIFIL, is headquartered. UNIFIL spokesperson Andrea Tenenti said peacekeepers will not evacuate. Israeli forces reach Litani River in southern Lebanon The Israeli military also said its ground troops clashed with Hezbollah forces and destroyed rocket launchers in the Slouqi area on the eastern end of the Litani River, a few miles from the Israeli border. Under the ceasefire deal, Hezbollah would be required to move its forces north of the Litani, which in some places is about 20 miles north of the border. Hezbollah began firing into northern Israel on Oct. 8, 2023, saying it was showing support for the Palestinians, a day after Hamas carried out its attack on southern Israel, triggering the Gaza war. Israel returned fire on Hezbollah, and the two sides have exchanged barrages ever since. Israel escalated its bombardment in mid-September and later sent troops into Lebanon, vowing to put an end to Hezbollah fire so tens of thousands of evacuated Israelis could return to their homes. More than 3,760 people have been killed by Israeli fire in Lebanon the past 13 months, many of them civilians, according to Lebanese health officials. The bombardment has driven 1.2 million people from their homes. Israel says it has killed more than 2,000 Hezbollah members. Hezbollah fire has forced some 50,000 Israelis to evacuate in the country’s north, and its rockets have reached as far south in Israel as Tel Aviv. At least 75 people have been killed, more than half of them civilians. More than 50 Israeli soldiers have died in the ground offensive in Lebanon.
