Kamloops Indian Residential School was built in 1890, rebuilt in 1923 after a fire, and remained open until 1977. In the 1920's, Native children aged 4 to 15 years were forcibly taken and prohibited from seeing their families and from practicing their languages, cultures, and traditions. Children attending K.I.R.S. experienced extreme isolation and segregation.
