Report on the Indian schools of Manitoba and the North-West Territories

A detailed account traces the development of mission and government-run schools for Indigenous children in Manitoba and the Northwest Territories, beginning with early missionary day schools and extending to boarding and industrial institutions. It summarizes denominational involvement, treaty commitments, and federal grants across several decades and tabulates expenditures by school type. The report evaluates physical conditions, staffing, attendance rules, building materials and sanitation, and examines pupils’ health and the medical oversight provided, concluding with observations about deficiencies and needs for improved accommodation, inspection, and administrative support.
