Les exp\u00e9riences des peuples Inuits dans les pensionnats indiens sont uniques et intimement li\u00e9es aux changements sociaux et politiques rapides dans le Nord, \u00e0 partir du milieu du XXe si\u00e8cle. Cette exposition raconte l'histoire \u00e0 travers des r\u00e9cits \u00e0 la premi\u00e8re personne et des images d'archives.<\/p>\n

Cette exposition raconte l'histoire de huit r\u00e9sidences inuites.
Les survivants des l'\u00e9coles ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s dans leurs propres mots et illustr\u00e9s des photographies personnelles et historiques, y compris leurs souvenirs d'enfance et leurs exp\u00e9riences scolaires, les luttes qu'ils ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 surmont\u00e9es et les d\u00e9fis auxquels ils sont encore confront\u00e9s aujourd'hui.<\/p>\n

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 Me\u0301tis experience of these schools.<\/p>\n

The last Residential School\u2013 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
