Students of St. Paul's Indian Industrial School, Middlechurch, Manitoba
1901

Government-run industrial schools and government-supported residential schools administered by the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches were prominent fixtures in the lives of Indian children. By removing the children from their homes, the schools hoped to assimilate and integrate them into white "civilized" society and provide them with a Canadian-style education. This photograph is part of an album of photographs of residential schools operating in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba during the early twentieth century. The effect of the assimilation process is clearly evident in the dress of the students.
