The Project

At the direction of Yukon First Nations, the Yukon Residential Schools Missing Children Project (YRSMCP) is an initiative to learn the truth about children who went missing from Yukon Residential Schools, including those who may be buried in unmarked burials sites. The YRSMCP is conducting survivor interviews, a ground search, and archival research to uncover the truth about these children. Through this process, the YRSMCP aims to better understand what happened to these children, and bring closure and healing to families and communities.
