A case study of the Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre: A Survivor-centred toolkit for reconciliation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This case study analyzes the programming initiatives of the Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre (SRSC) with the aim to produce an actionable toolkit of six distinct principles for institutions in addressing residential school history and working with Survivors. These six principles—applying Survivor-led, community-first methods; engaging in co-creative and participatory work; re-contextualizing photography through oral history; reclaiming Indigenous objects, spaces, and time; continually re-examining prior reconciliation efforts; and supporting the autonomy of witnessing—all contribute to the ongoing Canadian response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada's Calls to Action in confronting systemic racism towards Indigenous peoples, educating the public about residential schools, and advancing the progress of reconciliation efforts. The SRSC’s programming, including the Remember the Children project and the Reclaiming Shingwauk Hall exhibition, along with the centre’s further statements and initiatives, all highlight best practices in the preservation and programming for former residential school sites. By following the methods realized throughout this case study, other institutions can mindfully and meaningfully co-create Survivor-led spaces and programming that will further reconciliation’s aims—listening, learning, supporting, healing, and restoring.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
