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
"The publication of this book represents the first venture which the combined Churches of Canada have made into the field of literature on the Canadian Indian-Eskimo concern. ... the book is now offered to the Canadian public as a statement on an important issue in our national life. It appears most appropriately during the Centennial Year when concerns of this nature deserve to be examined with seriousness and appreciation." - Foreword
