But take a walk inside and the ground is laden with faint slabs of rock, gravestones from a centuries-old Indigenous family cemetery that had been obscured by the passage of time and neglect. “When we started working here seven years ago, it was nothing but trees and trash — there were couches buried here, you name it,” says Sandi Brewster-walker, my spry octogenarian guide to the site. She bends over to pick up a discarded beer…
