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
The project of heart strives to teach elementary students the history and legacy of Indian Residential Schools. The student participants have contributed by painting small wooden tiles to acknowledge and represent the children who died while attending residential school. The project's goal of collecting 50,000 tiles has been met, and the tiles were transferred to the NCTR in 2015, along with the responsibility to keep the project alive.
