Evidence of Remains: Old Royal Vic Site

Cadaver dogs have identified “evidence of human remains” on the grounds of the Allan Memorial Institute, near the old Royal Victoria Hospital. The search was conducted as part of an agreement between the Kanien’keha:ka Kahnis-tensera, a group, known as the Mohawk Mothers, and McGill University to determine if there are unmarked graves where the school intends to build a new project. Since the ‘discoveries’ were detected, all archeological procedures have been halted and the parties involved have returned to the negotiating table to determine how to handle these latest developments. Julian Falconer, the lawyer for the special interlocutor appointed to oversee the search said that multiple dogs used to comb the site suggested that there are bodies on the site. The search dogs’ findings were presented to the Quebec Superior Court today. The Mohawk Mothers argued that McGill wasn’t providing sufficient security to the site, given the possible presence of human remains there.

Kahentinetha Horn, a Mohawk Mother, was elated with the day’s events. With a sense of adulation and when asked by K1037 News how she felt, Horn responded emphatically: “How do you think we feel!”
