The road we travel is equal in importance to the destination we seek. There are no shortcuts. When it comes to truth and reconciliation, we are all forced to go the distance.
Senator Murray Sinclair, Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada
“ ”This memorial register is the result of over a decade of work by countless people.

Following the direction provided at the National Gathering of Elders, this second edition is being provided to assist and enable further ceremonies in traditional territories. Ceremonies to honour the children who never returned home from the schools will always remain essential.

National Student Memorial Register | Remembering the Children Who Never Returned HomeIntroduction 43
This memorial register is the result of over a decade of work by countless people. This is the second edition of the Memorial Register book. Survivors and Indigenous communities provided the updates, additions and changes to this book from December 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020.
The first edition of the memorial register book sought advice, guidance and blessing from Elders, Survivors and Knowledge Keepers at a national gathering held at Turtle Lodge in Sagkeeng First Nation, Manitoba. Songs were sung and ceremony conducted to help the children listed within this register find their way home. The door is now open. The Elders emphasized the importance
of working with ceremonial peoples across the many Indigenous nations of this land. They emphasized that all nations, customs and traditions must be respected in honouring these children.
Ceremonies to honour the children who never returned home from the schools will always remain essential. This second edition of the memorial register book represents another starting place on our collective journey of honouring and remembering the children lost to the residential schools. Following the direction provided at the National Gathering of Elders, this second edition is being provided to assist and enable further ceremonies in traditional territories.
By the width and the breadth of the universe, you are thought of. By the width and the breadth of the universe, you are loved.“ ”

Unknown SchoolsThe following students passed away or went missing from a school that has not yet been identified. Further research will help determine these schools.
The Work Continues57
There are additional names of children waiting to be found. The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation is ready to receive additional information about any student believed or known to have gone missing at a residential school or as a result of their time at a residential school. We will continue to update the memorial register as additional children are found.
The updated memorial register can be found at nctr.ca under Memorial. The printed version of the memorial register will be updated annually. It will include updates up to September 30th of each year and the book will be printed and available in November of that year.
We encourage those with additional information to contact the NCTR to provide updates and changes to the memorial register. Please contact us to receive the newest edition of the memorial register book. The memorial register book is free to family members of the children who never returned home. This is an ongoing process and we will only get it right with the help of Survivors and their communities. Together we will ensure that no child is forgotten.

This rattle, called a chichigun, was gifted to
Commissioner Marie Wilson by a group of
women Elders and residential school Survivors
following TRC hearings in Chisasibi, Québec.
“It was such a stirring ceremony, an
intertwined circle of rattle, song, and tears
as every woman in the room stood to bear
witness. Beyond my role as Commissioner,
they were appealing to me in the role I shared
with them … as mother and grandmother.
In giving me the chichigun they entrusted
me with the responsibility to take care of the
thousands of children who never came back
from residential schools … to make sure those
lost children knew they were not forgotten, so
that their spirits could be set free.”
At the closing ceremonies of the Truth
and Reconciliation Commission in 2015,
Commissioner Wilson placed the chichigun
in the TRC’s ceremonial Bentwood Box as a
sacred object, entrusting it to the National
Centre for Truth and Reconciliation to be
displayed prominently “as a reminder that
we must continue our efforts to find the ones
who are still missing … so that their lives
and their names may be spoken with love
and remembrance.”
Previous pages in this book identify thousands
of children. This page solemnly recognizes
over 1,600 additional students who are
identified as deceased within our records …
and whose names are not yet known.
We continue to honour and remember all of these children.
They are in our hearts, minds and spirits through all that we do.
