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:

Second Stories follows on the heels of First Stories, a project that produced award-winning short films by Aboriginal filmmakers from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Honour thy father: looks at cultural misunderstanding and its toll on grief. It had to be done: explores the legacy of residential schools. Deb-we-win ge-ken-am-aan: delves into the past, when two-spirited people were venerated for their gifts."
