The chief of Tk'emlups te Secwepemc First Nation says true reconciliation requires truth and she'd like more of that from the federal government and Catholic Church.
Chief Rosanne Casimir says they want the promised records as they work to identify the remains of what are believed to be more than 200 children found in unmarked graves around the former residential school in Kamloops.
Casimir says the nation has had enough apologies, now it needs the information that the government and Catholic Church have agreed to provide.
The chief says the ground-penetrating radar that found the remains was used on less than a hectare of property at the former school, and another 65 hectares must still be searched.
