Built in 1916, the Former
Portage la Prairie Indian Residential School
is
the oldest existing example in Manitoba of a system of
boarding schools for Aboriginal children which was created across
Canada between 1883-1960. Work is underway to turn this former residential school in
Portage la Prairie into a museum chronicling the impact of
residential schools on Canada's aboriginal people.
The Indian Residential School Museum of Canada is slated
to officially open on June 21, 2008.
The Portage school is a good example of prevailing ideas
concerning residential school design and still maintains its
original quality.
A monument to residential school survivors was erected last
December and features an eagle perched on a 27 1/2-metre steel
replica of a spruce tree.
Cache is now a 35mm film cannister and only has room for a log
book. Please bring your own pencil.
