As part of a project begun in November 2021, Star Blanket Cree Nation carried out a search of the former grounds of Qu'Appelle Indian Residential School in fall and winter 2022 using ground-penetrating radar. On January 12, 2023, preliminary findings were announced, which included over 2000 "hits" on ground-penetrating radar and the discovery of a fragment of the jawbone of a child between the ages of 4 and 6, which was estimated by the Saskatchewan Coroners Service to be approximately 125 years old. The "hits" registered on the ground-penetrating radar are not all suspected to be graves, and the ground search leader said they could be "anomalies" like tree roots or rocks. Further work is set to continue as of January 2023
