In the 1840s, the Canadian government created a network of Indian Residential Schools
that were meant to assimilate young indigenous students into western Canadian culture.
Indian agents would take children from their homes as young as two or three and send
them to church-run boarding schools where they were punished for speaking their native
languages or observing any indigenous traditions, routinely sexually and physically
assaulted, and in some extreme instances subjected to medical experimentation and
sterilization.
The last residential school closed in 1996. The Canadian government issued its first
formal apology in 2008.
These multiple exposure portraits show survivors who are still fighting to overcome the
memories of their residential school experiences. These individuals are reflected in the
sites where those schools once stood, in the government documents that enforced
strategic assimilation, in the places where today, First Nations people now struggle to
access services that should be available to all Canadians. These are the echoes of
trauma that remain even as the healing process begins.
