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 a booklet on the history of the Coqualeetza Institute and the Hospital.
Curatorial Comment
This booklet was produced by the Coqualeetza Indian Hospital in 1956. In June of 1940, Coqualeetza Residential School was permanently closed. The federal government bought the property from the United Church and opened the Coqualeetza Sanatorium (also called Coqualeetza Indian Hospital) to combat tuberculosis. The Hospital operated until September 1969. The booklet gives some historical account of the School, but focuses primarily on the Hospital's staff, patients, administration, and programs.
