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:

National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls

2016
Description
After many years of protests, advocacy, and lobbying by families, allies, and Indigenous organizations, the Government of Canada agreed to conduct an Inquiry into the Missing and Murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada. The Inquiry was mandated to examine the systemic causes of all forms of violence against Indigenous women, girls, and members of the LGBTQ2S community in Canada with a mission to seek the truth. Work on the Inquiry began September 1, 2016. In 2019, a report was published entitled "Reclaiming Power and Place: The Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls".
