"Those schools were a war on Aboriginal children."
Those words, included in the final report from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), were spoken by Doris Young, a residential school survivor.
The Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement recognized 25 residential school locations in Alberta, which are listed below. That number excludes schools that operated without federal support, such as those run by religious orders or provincial governments. Some schools also underwent name changes or were relocated.
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.
