Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre at Algoma University

The Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre (SRSC) at Algoma University, is a joint initiative with the Children of Shingwauk Alumni Association. The history and activities associated with the Shingwauk and Wawanosh Indian Residential Schools (1873-1970), which were located on what is now the university campus are being gathered under the auspices of the SRSC.

The information presented in this digital library and archive attempts to recreate the past events of the Shingwauk Indian Residential School and interpret them as truthfully as possible. We hope that this site will contribute to public enlightenment and will enhance public awareness of the trials that the First Nations Peoples have faced in their struggle to maintain their cultural, philosophic, and spiritual identities.
