1 in 1883, “Public Works Minister Hector Langevin Told the House Of
Making Erasure Manifest: The Importance of Archives and Reenactment in the Case of Canada’s Indian Residential School Survivors By Susan G. Enberg In 1883, “Public Works Minister Hector Langevin told the House of Commons, ‘In order to educate the (‘Indian’) children properly we must separate them from their families. Some people may say that this is hard but if we want to civilize them we must do that.’”1 At minimum, 150,000 indigenous children were forced by law to attend Indian residential schools in Canada; today there remain approximately 80,000 survivors.2 These schools can be theoretically located in Foucault’s borderline heterotopia,3 at the border of crisis and deviation.4 It is a heterotopia that has been politically constructed and maintained by Canadian political administrations from the late-nineteen century to the late-twentieth century, one that has insisted on the stealing of indigenous children from their homes to be placed in residential schools. However, the ideology of Canadian nationalism or unity (the tangible image before the mirror) is countered by the visible yet invisible (the mirror-image itself) incarceration of the children: visible when framed by missionary benevolence, invisible through historical erasure and denial of the abuse of the children. This essay will illuminate how successive Canadian administrations and Christian institutions for over a century have inhibited access to damning archival documents that would confirm their complicity of engaging in genocidal tactics against Canada’s indigenous population. Disturbingly, legal and bureaucratic actions of current and recent Canadian administrations would indicate a political desire to erase the crime of genocide from Canada’s historical legacy. -

Welcome One hundred years is an arbitrary number with respect to the history and legacy of the Indian Residential School System in Canada. More accurately, over 100 years of cultural and spiritual loss have been experienced by successive generations of Aboriginal peoples as a consequence of residential schools—without action, these losses will continue to affect generations to come in addition to the estimated 80,000 Survivors alive today. -
