“If Canada can afford to build these buildings and run them in our territory for all the years they did… as residential school buildings, they can afford to tear them down and help us build new and heal from what happened here,” said Watts.”

Arrived on Tseshaht reserve after the long walk. Former site of #AIRS. There are still a couple buildings left from the old school. The fire pit is where the main hall was. An administrative building on the left and a gymnasium on the right remain. Both are going to be torn down and replaced in good time. #NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation #NDTR

Right now. Gathering and singing on stolen un-ceded territories of Tseshaht and Hupacasath before the walk to the site of the former Indian Residential School #AIRS #PortAlberni #NDTR #NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation

This year marks 50 years since the Alberni Indian Residential School was closed. It was closed because of action by First Nations people here themselves, with the leadership of George Watts. Many other schools remained open for many more years. And the main buildings weren't demolished until 2009.

"It was in July 1973 that the West Coast District Council of Indian Chiefs (which later became Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council) sent a letter to the Department of Indian Affairs, propositioning the closure of the residential school. This letter, signed by the West Coast Council’s chairman George Watts, led to a meeting between Canada and Nuu-chah-nulth leaders. On Aug. 31, 1973, AIRS closed its doors forever.”
