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:

The FNESC/FNSA Indian Residential Schools & Reconciliation Gr. 5 Teacher Resource Guide is designed to help grade 5 students attain an understanding of the history of the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people over Canada’s history and engage young people to take part in the journey of reconciliation. Although it focuses on grade 5, the guide can be applied to older grade levels and can be used in conjunction with the FNESC/FNSA Indian Residential Schools & Reconciliation Teacher Resource for Gr. 10.
The primary learning resources are published literature, enabling a cross-curricular approach employing both Language Arts and Social Studies learning standards. While the instructional activities are presented in a structured format that is an example of how they may be incorporated, they are intended to be flexible in their use. They allow for the application of both a First Peoples Pedagogy and the BC Social Studies Curriculum"--publisher's website.
