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:

Curatorial Comment
This is a Survivor testimony from the Legacy of Hope Foundation's "Our Stories . . . Our Strength" video collection. The testimonies were recorded before the Truth and Reconciliation, between 2004 and 2008, as part of a "national commemoration and education project." The Foundation expresses its gratitude to those "who have shared their personal and often painful accounts of their experiences of residential school and its legacy" and notes that "it is by sharing these truths that we can all continue to work toward understanding and healing" (Legacy of Hope Foundation).
