From George Strombo

Following up on my daily CBC news (to tie in with our nice visit today), George made a post concerning first nation residential school art and how they were 'rediscovered' in an archives. From what I gathered in the article, it appears to have been a university archives.

I hope this might be a good lead for your truth and reconciliation section. I'll try and keep an eye out for more resources. I'm also following the Journey to Nishuu right now, perhaps something else might come up!

Hi Lady,

I also came across this today. It is an interesting interactive website furthering the discussion on residential schools. I know it is a little out of the scope for your wiki, but it has photographs listed that are sourced from an archives (Archives Deschâtelets). Perhaps it will be of use: http://www.lesenfantsdevenus.ca The resources page might be helpful.

Thanks Lady! Both great sources. I'll see how I can sneak them in somehow. I read that first article in the newspaper and definitely sat there thinking "Those pictures were never lost! They were in an archives all along!"
