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
"This is a story of a people dispossessed, deep historic wounds and still unresolved conflict between Indigenous people, governments in Canada and industry. It's a story of the struggles of two First Nations of the Carrier territory...a struggle for land and sovereignty, for healing and revitalization....Th[e] Guide was shaped by four years of conversations with the Ts'il Kaz Koh and Cheslatta First Nations, with the people of the Village of Burns Lake, and with the Elder, Gerry Oleman, of the St'at'imc Nation. It also benefited from the contributions of both Native and non-Native participants in the dialogues following two community screenings in Burns Lake in June 2010."
