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
"Really two books in one: her recent poetry, and her rare, long-out-of-print first book, Poems of Rita Joe.


This respected spokesperson and Order of Canada recipient shares the unique combination of native spirituality and Christianity that is her daily life. Writing with remarkable clarity and sympathy, she faces the pain and joy of our lives together.

Rita Joe is a survivor of her own "gentle war," a reporter from the front lines. Her poems are small, tough monuments, left in our care"--publisher's website.
