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.

Description
"This collection is comprised of short stories, poems, essays, and art created by First Nations, Inuit, and Métis authors and artists on the topics of truth and reconciliation as they relate to residential schools"--McGraw Hill Ryerson.

"Each selection includes Before, During, and After questions and activities that support English Language Arts grades 10 to 12 curricula from across the country. The volume contains a speech written by Justice Murray Sinclair about the meaning of reconciliation. Poetry includes I Am Graffiti by Leanne Simpson, Mechanic by Louise B. Halfe, and The Same as Trees by Nicola I. Campbell. The collection includes two memoir excerpts by Isabelle Knockwook and Sheila Watt-Cloutier. Short Stories by Drew Hayden Taylor and Joseph Boyden are included. Richard Wagamese and Niigonwedom James Sinclair each contribute personal essays. Artwork includes pieces by Tracey Anthony and Carey Newman. Steven Keewatin Sanderson's graphic story effectively explores Rock Bottom themes in this colour comic strip using a limited amount of text. Savannah Simon provides an interview about her efforts to support learning Mi'kmaq in contemporary settings. This volume is an outstanding and relevant collection for Canadian students addressing the TRC's Call to Action through literature. The guide begins with a section for educators about dealing with sensitive issues. Each entry is supported by provincial curriculum connections; teaching ideas for before, during and after each selection; differentiated instruction process; and assessment"--GoodMinds.
