The Canadian National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) houses the largest collection of materials on the history and impact of the Residential School System and includes one of the largest collections of oral history in the country.
The collection consists of materials from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC), the Government of Canada, Survivors and the Churches.
I first learned about NCTR via Terabytes of testimony: Digital database of residential school stories opens to the public.
As a U.S. citizen, who has traveled several times to Canada
Whether your ancestors may or may not have lived at these residential schools for Indians, you cannot help but be affected by learning of their existence and the efforts to preserve the memories of those who attended.
