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 boarding school the girls are stripped of all things representing their Indian past. Their beautiful long hair is chopped off, use of their language is punished and any items representing tribal life are confiscated. But Ruby holds on with a fierce determination that the school will not break her spirit, as it has so many others."
