Description
"Orphans, convalescents and those who live too deep in the bush for day school: these are the students of the residential school in remote Moose Factory, Ont. For 10 months a year, these Indigenous children -- some taken from their homes -- start each day with a religious service before heading to classes. In 1955, a CBC Television crew visits the school to salute Education Week -- and here, the education is all about how to integrate into mainstream Canadian society" (CBC Archives website).
