We welcome you to the Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre.

The records on our site emerge from the cultural and physical genocide that the Canadian government and churches conducted through the Indian Residential School System, including the ongoing impacts.

Bearing witness to these records may become overwhelming. If you are a Survivor or an Intergenerational Survivor and would like support, you can call the 24-hour National Indian Residential School Crisis Line at:

Description
"Some of the best poetry by Rita Joe, The Blind Man's Eyes includes a batch of new poems and her telling of the lovely Legend of Matlan. From her lifelong goal to open the eyes of both her own Aboriginal community and the wider world to Mi’kmaq history and culture, Rita wrote of loneliness and pain and the accomplishment of abiding love"--book cover.
