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:

Curatorial Comment
This document contains notes from surveying (mapping) school lands. Land surveys were a critical tool for bringing land under settler government control by making areas legible to settlers and settler governments with little local knowledge. With school lands, these surveys enabled churches and governments to control and change the land and surrounding areas through construction, displacement of people and resources, etc.
