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

"Five children from a northern First Nations family attended a residential school - now discredited by tales of abuse. We overhear their conversations. 'I'm forever grateful that my parents sent me,' says one. 'I would give all the money in the world to have never gone there,' says another. Sharon Stearnes brings us their memories of a complicated reality, taking us to the waxed hallways at Lower Post School and the stories of a generation."--website.
