Ted Quewezance, who is leading the Keeseekoose First Nation's search for graves using ground-penetrating radar near Fort Pelly and St Philip's residential schools, disclosed the findings at a press conference, AFP reported.
"Canadians still cannot believe a human being could treat another human being, especially a child, like the way we were treated," he said, holding back tears.
The two schools were run by the Catholic Church on behalf of the federal government – St Philip's from 1905 to 1913 and Fort Pelly from 1928 to 1969.
Similar discoveries were made last year at several other boarding schools across Canada.
