In 2008, the Canadian government established a Truth and
Reconciliation Commission (TRC) to review the history of the
residential school system, a brutal colonial project that killed
and injured many Indigenous children and left a legacy of trauma
and pain. In Fragments of Truth Naomi Angel analyzes the visual
culture of reconciliation and memory in relation to this complex
and painful history. In her analyses of archival photographs from
the residential school system, representations of the schools in
popular media and literature, and testimonies from TRC proceedings,
Angel traces how the TRC served as a mechanism through which
memory, trauma, and visuality became apparent. She shows how many
Indigenous communities were able to use the TRC process as a way to
claim agency over their memories of the schools. Bringing to light
the ongoing costs of transforming settler states into modern
nations, Angel demonstrates how the TRC offers a unique optic
through which to survey the long history of colonial oppression of
Canada's Indigenous populations.
