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
Document consists of an article about the community of Ahousaht, B.C., from the United Church periodical, Missionary Monthly.
Curatorial Comment
This article is an example of the cultural assumptions and sense of superiority of the church in its relationship with Aboriginal peoples. The author of the article compares Ahousaht of 1881 with Ahousaht of 1931. He credits Christian work for its "uplifting and regenerating" influence on the Ahousaht community, specifically naming the Residential School as one of the biggest positive influences.
