The Canadian government has launched an interactive map of former Indian residential schools<\/a>. \u201cThe Indian Residential Schools Interactive Map allows users to visualize the location of the 140 former residential school sites recognized in the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement as well as provide information on the current status and historical context of the site. The map has a search, filter, measurement and imagery slider to help users with analysis.\u201d The map makes use of historical aerial photography to pinpoint the locations of schools that are no longer standing; many of the sites have since been redeveloped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of the map is grim: to determine the potential locations of additional school gravesites<\/a>. Generations of Indigenous children were forced to attend residential schools<\/a> in Canada: many were subjected to physical and sexual abuse, and thousands died of disease or neglect. In the past few years, unmarked graves have been found at several residential school sites across Canada, and searches are under way at many others. This map makes available to searchers imagery that was otherwise difficult to access. (The imagery is also available as a dataset<\/a>.)
