Addition to the last post
Ground Pe*******on and Drone research was done at the Graveyard.
This graveyard is part of the Church of England history. The graveyard is much bigger, it goes far back to the tree line. There are graves all the way back.

It is not on Chcn reserve land.

They attempted to do the same at the Catholic Church cemetery, the ground needed to be cleaned and grass cut first.

The kwēcic museum has Birth, Marriage, Death, Confirmation Records, Church of England (Anglican Church) records. There records date back to the mid 1800’s up to recently.

Posted is a picture of a Death Record of Chief John Cochrane 1876. He was buried at the cemetery by the Samuel Hearne Fort ( Church of England Church cemetery) located towards Terring River. The records show there are hundreds of burial plots in that graveyard.

The community should come together to designate both gravesites as heritage sites.

The Catholic Church cemetery as well. The records from the Catholic Church are being requested at this time.

The Grandmother is home. (1900-1920)

Repatriation is truly an act of kindness that comes to awaken our hearts and to connect our spirit to our grandmothers.

The pouch arrived in the mail today. We are grateful for this opportunity to inspire the youth. Thank you Gregory A Scofield for this amazing gift.

Love the creativity and the butterflies
