well, i initially sat with the information. i've done a lot of learning and listening regarding the residential school system over the past several years, so-

Male
... so unfortunately, my first reaction wasn't one of surprise.

but shortly after that i thought to myself, i should check the wikipedia page because when news like this breaks, regardless of the nature of the story-

... and wikipedia is no different
N

so i visited the page for the kamloops indian residential schools.

i was happy to note that there was a page already in existence,-

1374
Male
... regardless of how you personally or professionally feel about wikipedia as a resource,-
N
4.6

... people use it. people tend to refer to it as an entry point into a topic if they need a quick answer to understand what something is.

so i know from experience that people are visiting these pages.
N

my first thought is often to check the page and see if there's meaningful and accurate information available there for people to take in.

and so there wasn't meaningful information on this page, really.

1374
Male
what was available online, both in the truth and reconciliation commission reports-
N
3.4
3.6
4.4
1374
Male
and i started thinking about what type of information would need to be available on the page in order to-
X
3
3.2
3.8
1374
Male
... make it useful for people trying to understand what the school was, but-
X
2.6
3.8
3.2
1374
Male
... that also consisted of looking at whether or not any survivors had spoken about their experience at the school,-
N
3.8
3.6
3.8
1374
Male
... whether or not any indigenous activists or thinkers had written about the particular topic. but-
N
3.4
3.4
4
1374
Male
and then kind of assessing where i could start contributing to the expansion of the page.
X
3.4
4.2
3.6
1374
Male
part of the answer for me is that i've done a lot of learning and listening to indigenous people,-
N
3.4
4.2
4.2
1374
Male
... thinkers, writers. a few years ago i took a class at renison, implications for settler canadians, with regards to reconciliation. and the instructor, kelly laurila,-
N
2.8

3.8
1374
Male
... did a really amazing job of imparting the fact that educating ourselves as settler-
H

... canadians is only one part of the process.
N
3.8

1374
Male
the work really comes with translating what you've learned into action.
N
3.4
3.6
3.6
1374
Male
and so for me, that looks like editing wikipedia. when i think about really overwhelming and daunting topics like the residential school system,-
O
3.8
3.2
4.4
1374
Male
... i think it's common for people to ask what i can do.
N
3.8
4
3.8
1374
Male
and for me, that answer was taking stock of what i already know how to do, things i-
N
3.6
3.4
3.8
1374
Male
... already know, things i'm comfortable with, and that was editing wikipedia.
H

4.8
1374

and i used wikipedia as an outlet for sharing and passing on what i've learned.

... mid thirties before i really realized what it meant to live on native land,-

i really did not understand the depth and structural nature of the racism and colonialism that exists in our country.

i am the descendant of settler canadians on both sides of my family.

i come from people who came to canada to settle and to colonize-

Male
... without any reason to have it other than just how i look or how i sound.

and so the course at renison really helped me put some of the bigger puzzle pieces together in terms of understanding that it's possible to carry a lot of feelings-
N
4.4
3.6
4.4
1374
Male
... at once. it's possible to be proud of where you come from-
N
3
3.2
3
1374
Male
... but also really sad and devastated by-
S
3.2
1.8
3
1374
Male
... some really heavy truths. and i hope-
S
4.2
3.6
3.8
1374
Male
... that finding ways to put what i've learned into action can inspire and encourage other people to think about the skills they already have and how they can be-
H

yeah, i know. it's sort of like one of the nerdiest things about me.

i'm really fortunate working in the archives and also in the library to have access to a wealth of information-

3.4

... to make personal connections between archival records and people's everyday lives.

i started with editing the kamloops page by thinking critically about the current state of the page and where it needed to be.
X
3.8
5
3.8
1374
Male
from there, i did a search to determine what was available. and for me, when i'm working on pages related to the residential school system,-
N
3.2
3.8
3.4
1374
Male
... i always start with the outputs of the truth and reconciliation commission of canada.
N

3.6
3.8
1374
Male
they have a series of very readable and accessible reports that do an incredible job of pulling together a lot of historical information.
N
4.4
5.4
4.8
1374
Male
it's very much like writing a term paper or writing a biographical summary,-
H
3.4
4.6
4
1374
Male
... which is where i pull on my archival training to do this type of work.
N
3.6
4.6
4.2
1374
Male
a lot of what we do in the archives is looking at a wealth of information and-
X
3.2
4
4
1374
Male
... coming up with a digestible summary.
N
2.8
3.6
3.2
1374
Male
and when you think about wikipedia or the purpose of an encyclopedia, that's-
O
4.4
3.6
4.8
1374
Male
... something digestible that hits all of the key points.
S

[inaudible 00:07:17] it's creating one for the first time or contributing to something that already exists-

one of the issues that people have with wikipedia is that sometimes it's not terribly reliable and-
O
4.2
2.6
4.4
1374
Male
... that's because anybody can edit a page, pretty much, on wikipedia.
X
3.6
4
3.6
1374
Male
no, i'm actually really happy to report that there were a lot of different editors working on the page-
U
4
4.4
4.2
1374
Male
... and i completely confirm and agree that there are problems with people editing the page-
S
3.2
3.2
4
1374
Male
... you will. however, the vast majority of edits that happen on wikipedia are in good faith.
N
3.4
4.4
4.4
1374
Male
there are mechanisms in place to ensure that anybody who's editing for vandalism purposes-
O
3.8
4
4.2
1374
Male
... quickly. and, ultimately, when multiple people are working on a page-
N
3.2
3.6
3.4
1374
Male
... so, for example, i might focus on historical overviews because that's-
X
3.4
3.8
3.8
1374
Male
... my particular area of interest professionally, as an [inaudible 00:08:21].
H
3.8
4.8
4.2
1374
Male
wikipedia also really encourages consensus and discussions, so-
X
3.8
4.6
4.6
1374
Male
... every wikipedia page has a talk page and-
N
3.8
4
4
1374
Male
... that's where editors can go in and have back and forth about what they think should be happening on the page.
C
3
3.6
4
1374
Male
and in turn, i make changes to other people's work that maybe they disagree with.that's the nature-
H
4.2
4.8
4
1374
Male
... of wikipedia is that it's open to everybody and we're theoretically all working towards the same goal.
H
4.2

1374

it's inevitable that there are going to be more of these sad discoveries.
S
3.4

Male
in fact, the cowessess first nation of saskatchewan announced recently that they found 751 unmarked graves on reserve land.
N
3.4

4.4
1374
Male
i think they're doing a great job. and i didn't immediately see how i could contribute-
H
2.2
3.8
3.8
1374
Male
... so i've been focusing in on some of the smaller schools that are also conducting searches.
N
3.6
4.4
4
1374
Male
i've been creating pages for schools that-
N
2.8
4.4
3.4
1374
Male
... there is still a wealth of information about them. and part of that is that i-
N
3.2
3.8
3.2
1373
Female
... so i've worked on pages recently related to the birtle industrial residential school-
N
3.6
4.2
3.6
1373
Female
... the st. boniface school. i was working on one this morning for the shubenacadie residential school,-
N
3.6

1373
Female
... which was the only school that operated in the maritime.
U
2.4

so the nice thing about editing wikipedia is that there's no right or wrong way to do it.
H
3.4

3.4
1382
Male
you can do that if you have half an hour and you want to draft a new section of a page.
N
3.4
3.4
4
1382
Male
so i'm basically right now just trying to dedicate any of my editing energy to residential related schools-
O
3.2
4.6
4.6
1382
Male
... because this topic isn't going away.
S
3.4
2.6

and if the number of graves that have been found to date continue to play out at other school locations-
