<\/p>\r\nGrave sites remembering the more than 50 children who died at the school will be marked with decorative burial scaffolds and individual rocks will be engraved with their names. \r\n

<\/P>\r\nThe landscaping for the memorial park will \u201centail reintroducing traditional foods and medicine throughout the memorial including covering the hill,\u201d says Remembering the Children\u2019s website. \r\n

<\/P>\r\n\u201cSo that the land provides prayer and nourishment available for all. The hope is to cultivate indigenous plants such as chokecherries, buffalo berries, currants, wild plums, timpsila, sage, mullein, bergamot, yarrow, prairie rose, and cheyaka, etc.\u201d\r\n
