The Whitehorse Indian Mission School Memorial is a reminder of the history of colonization and cultural suppression in the Yukon, as well as the strength of survivors of the Kwanlin Dün and Ta’an Kwäch’än peoples. Please ensure the utmost respect upon visits. All within a stone's throw sit the Healing Totem, Yukon River Viewing Wharf, MacBride Museum of Yukon History, and so many other art and historical learning opportunities.

The school was established in 1947 and closed in 1960. For over a century, these government-approved schools across Canada were run by priests and nuns. First Nations children as young as four were taken from their families, often at night in community raids. They were taken to schools far from their homes and subjected to years of aggressive assimilation. They were beaten, locked in closets, or denied food for speaking their traditional languages.
