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
"In many Aboriginal communities, it is only in the last 5 to 7 years that there has been any open discussion about the problem of sexual abuse. The main challenges still often involve moving beyond myths and denial; yet the problems are serious. If Aboriginal communities and nations are to achieve their vision for the future, these problems must be addressed" ("Executive Summary," p. vi, Aboriginal Sexual Offending in Canada).
