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:

Romeo Saganash on Bill C-262

Bill C-262

30 May 2018
Description
The House of Commons passed Bill C-262. The bill, sponsored by Romeo Saganash (MP, Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou), sought to bring the laws of Canada into alignment with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). It stalled during the subsequent Senate review and was not passed prior to Parliament recessing in June 2019, thus failing to become law.
