In light of the renewed focus on Indian Residential Schools, the Institute of Prairie and Indigenous Archaeology and the Kule Institute for Advanced Study have partnered to develop a Rapid Research Response 3 part web-series to facilitate conversations by highlighting the voices of experts, community members, and faculty members across the University of Alberta. They are sharing their expertise on the history of residential schools, the current work being done to locate missing children, how the impacts and trauma of residential schools continues to this day, and how we move forward for resurgent Indigenous futures in the lands known as Canada.
