The information in this section will provide information on the impacts of the Indian Residential School system
to the survivors, their families and First Nation communities. It is adapted from the booklet “The Soul Wounds of the Anishinabek People: The Psychological and Intergenerational Impacts of the Indian Residential School System” by
Dr.Brenda Restoule. C. Psych.
The legacy of the Indian Residential School System continues to be affecting the survivors, their children,
grandchildren and communities they live in. These experiences can be found for individuals, families and communities in the mental, emotional, physical, social, economical and spiritual parts of their lives. Understanding the soul wounds or impacts this has had across the generations can assist in creating healing and wellness for Anishinabek people.
