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
"After being 'rounded up' into reserves, after the imposition of the Indian Act and their forced re-education in the residential schools, can the Batchewana First Nations continue to survive as a people in this urban environment? Can we afford to allow their culture to die when it puts the preservation of the environment above all else? These people put their case. Emotionally. Intellectually. Persuasively. 'First Nations are not the problem. They are the solution to the problem.'"
