Survivors Stories
The following stories are told from the perspective of Indian Residential School Survivors. As a part of their healing journey, these Survivors have chosen to tell their stories. Some Survivors have chosen to not speak about their experiences, and we respect this decision.
It is important for all Canadians to hear these stories and to understand what occurred in these institutions.
If you are a citizen of one of the 39 Anishinabek Nation member First Nations and wish to have your story written and shared here, please contact the Anishinabek Nation Reconciliation Manager at 705-497-9127.
