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
At first, while working as a cameraman for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s northern regional events, Dennis Allan couldn’t relate to the stories he was hearing and filming. But at the Northern National Event in Inuvik, where he grew up and attended Grollier Hall, Dennis experienced a resurgence of memories and emotions he had buried long ago. Here’s “Dennis Allan: My Perspective,” which first aired at the Northern National Event June 28th to July 1, 2011.
