The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg was created to preserve the history and legacy of Canada's residential school system. Its audiovisual records are being standardized by the National Film Board.
"I think it's really important that people have access. Fifty years from now, people will listen to the stories of what the survivors went through … And again, it's the ongoing message of what happened," said Garnet Angeconeb. He is a member of the NCTR's Survivors Circle, a group of residential school survivors that helps to guide the centre's direction, and said there is still a lot of work to be done when it comes to educating Canadians about the tragedies that took place during the residential school era.
"It's like extremely valuable home movies," said Frogner. "So for that reason, we need to make sure that it's preserved in the best possible manner that we can." "We're trying to index by speaker within the recordings so that people can go straight to that person in that session, because some of the sessions were several hours in length," said Frogner.J'net Ayayqwayaksheelth, the Director of Indigenous Relations and Community Engagement at the NFB, said that the records will give the public access to the truth of what happened at residential schools across Canada.

Good Idea. That way no one can say BAD things did not happen to Indigenous People! Make extra copies & hide them! Good news is that it happened in Americas just since 1492- just over 500 yrs! Thanks to Printing Press & Internet information no more hiding! No more can't say that!
