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 death of Joe Elliott.
Curatorial Comment
Joe Elliott attended the Coqualeetza Residential School in the early 1900s. This article, of unknown provenance, gives an overview of one survivor's life's work, and his commitment to justice for Aboriginal peoples. How would Joe Elliott describe his experience at residential school? He is one of so many generations that we can no longer ask.
