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:

Appeal withdrawn

10 November 2015
Description
A "Notice of Abandonment” was filed in the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal by a senior Department of Justice lawyer shortly after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came to office. The federal government was withdrawing its appeal of Justice Gabrielson’s ruling. No reason was given for the withdrawal. The Minister of Justice, Jody Wilson-Raybould, had not been consulted, and neither had Survivors or Indigenous leaders.
