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
"Eight previously published papers explore relationships among Aboriginal people, the Constitution, and Canadian law. These wide ranging and interdisciplinary papers can be read as both legal commentaries and as statements of the effects of a Constitution upon ordinary people. This book is the perfect companion for a number of recent explorations of Aboriginal law, providing analysis of current cases and issues in a readable and cogent manner."
