St. Anne's Indian Residential School

St. Anne’s Indian Residential School was a government-funded institution in Canada, operating from the late 19th century until the late 20th century, meant to assimilate Indigenous children into Euro-Canadian culture. Located in Manitoba, it was part of a broader system of residential schools that aimed to erase Indigenous languages, traditions, and identities. Many students experienced neglect, cultural suppression, and abuse. The school’s history is now recognized as a painful chapter, contributing to the ongoing effort to acknowledge and address the harms caused to Indigenous communities.
