The Canadian Press: Year in review: A look at events in June 2024

On June 3rd: The University of Manitoba publicly apologizes for harm it caused to First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities more than a century after it began accepting and storing Indigenous remains. The school says it inappropriately accepted and stored ancestral remains as well as burial belongings and cultural artifacts without consent from Indigenous communities.

The university started working to repatriate remains four years ago.
