1. Truth and Reconciliation Commission Databases

National Research and Analysis (NRA) Database: The National Research and Analysis database contains records collected by the National Research and Analysis Directorate, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, formally Indian Residential Schools Resolution Canada (IRSRC). The records in the database were originally collected for the purpose of research into a variety of allegations, such as abuse in residential schools, and primarily resulted from court processes such as civil and criminal litigation, and later the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement (IRSSA), as well as from out-of-court processes such as Alternative Dispute Resolution. The majority of the records were collected from Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada. The collection also contains records from other federal departments and religious entities. In the case of some records in the database that were provided by outside entities, the information in the database is incomplete. In those instances, the endnote in the report reads, "No document location, no document file source."


2. INDIAN AFFAIRS ANNUAL REPORTS, 1864 – 1997

Within this report, Annual Report of the Department of Indian Affairs denotes the published annual reports created by the government of Canada, and relating to Indian Affairs over the period from 1864 to 1997.

The Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development was created in 1966. In 2011, it was renamed Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. Before 1966, different departments were responsible for the portfolios of Indian Affairs and Northern Affairs.

The departments responsible for Indian Affairs were (in chronological order):

• The Department of the Secretary of State of Canada (1864 to 1869)
• The Department of the Secretary of State for the Provinces (1869 to 1873)
• The Department of the Interior (1873 to 1880)
• The Department of Indian Affairs (1880 to 1936)
• The Department of Mines and Resources (1936 to 1950)
• The Department of Citizenship and Immigration (1950 to 1965)
• The Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources (1966)
• The Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (1966 to 2019)
• Split into two: Department of Indigenous Services, and the Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (2019 to present)


The exact titles of Indian Affairs annual reports changed over time, and were named for the department.


3. Library and Archives Canada

RG 10 (Indian Affairs Records Group) The records of RG10 at Library and Archives Canada are currently part of the R216, Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development fonds. For clarity and brevity, in endnotes throughout this report, records belonging to the RG10 record group have been identified simply with their RG10 information. Where a copy of an RG10 document held in a TRC database was used, the TRC database holding that copy is clearly identified, along with the RG10 information connected with the original document.
