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
In 1974, the West Coast District Council of Indian Chiefs struggled with the decision of whether to destroy two Alberni IRS residences (Caldwell and Ross Halls) after the federal government announced that it would no longer maintain the buildings. Years later, the Tseshaht First Nation invited survivors of Alberni IRS to participate in a ceremonial demolition of Peake Hall, February 2009.
