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
A view of the Elizabeth Long Memorial Home in Kitamaat. The "home" was built in 1908, through the financial support of the Methodist Woman's Missionary Society. It replaced an earlier structure that had burned down in 1906. Elizabeth Long had been the home's first matron, and died just a year before the new building was completed.
