Les expériences des peuples Inuits dans les pensionnats indiens sont uniques et intimement liées aux changements sociaux et politiques rapides dans le Nord, à partir du milieu du XXe siècle. Cette exposition raconte l'histoire à travers des récits à la première personne et des images d'archives.

Cette exposition raconte l'histoire de huit résidences inuites.
Les survivants des l'écoles ont été présentés dans leurs propres mots et illustrés des photographies personnelles et historiques, y compris leurs souvenirs d'enfance et leurs expériences scolaires, les luttes qu'ils ont déjà surmontées et les défis auxquels ils sont encore confrontés aujourd'hui.

This exhibition has played an important role in generating dialogue within Inuit communities and among non-lndigenous Canadians. Survivors have said that many Inuit communities still find it difficult to talk about this issue and many visitors to the exhibition for the first time understood that there were differences between the First Nations, Inuit and Métis experience of these schools.

The last Residential School– Grollier Hall, a Residential School for Indian and Inuit children in Inuvik, North West Territories, opened in 1959 and was run by the Oblates until 1985. It closed in 1997 and the impacts have been devastating on generations. The school was situated beside Stringer Hall, a similar facility operated by the Anglican church. Each facility had a capacity for 250 children. As of 1970 the government of the NWT assumed control of Stringer Hall. It was demolished in 2001.
