"Those schools were a war on Aboriginal children."
Those words were spoken by a residential school survivor and included in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Final Report.
The Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement recognized 25 residential school locations in Alberta which are listed below.
Many of the details in this article come from the University of Manitoba's National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation's (NCTR) Archives.
Included for each school, is a link to the NCTR Archive's National Student Memorial, a list of students known to have died or gone missing at the institution.
Those lists are certainly not complete.
