Flags have been lowered to half-mast at Lincoln Town Hall after 160 unmarked graves were discovered at another former residential school.

Yesterday, the Penelakut Tribe in B.C's Southern Gulf Islands confirmed the graves were found on the grounds of the former Kuper Island Residential School.

The school was open from 1890 to the 1970s. 

A 24 hour residential school crisis line has been made available: 1-866-925-4419.
