The following list of schools are institutions recognized in the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement (IRSSA).
There are some schools that do not contain a list of student names. This means that at present, we have no record of children having died as a result of their time at that school. There is a significant amount of work still to be done to ensure no child is forgotten. If you have any information on a child that did not return home from a school, please contact us at the NCTR.
