The Survivors’ Secretariat was established in 2021 to organize and support the investigation into missing children and unmarked burials associated with the Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School located in Brantford, ON. The not-for-profit organization is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of Survivors and Intergenerational Survivors of the Mohawk Institute.
The Survivors’ Secretariat has led the investigation into missing children and unmarked burials at the Mohawk Institute since 2021. Below are our audited financial statements.
We seek to honour the children who never returned home throughout the four pillars of our work.
Research & Document Collection
We use records and documents to identify every student who attended the Mohawk Institute to inform if any are missing, have passed on or are unaccounted for.
We investigate potential unmarked burials by using geophysical technologies to collect data to identify grave shafts on or around the former Mohawk Institute.
We will remember the legacy of those who never returned home and honour the experiences of those who survived by creating spaces to house their memories.
