Eliza Jane Bird (Kahperrooqua) arrived at Shingwauk in August, 1874 from Sarnia. When she arrived she was doing the 2nd book, copy, and additions. Although she spoke a little English and she was trained in the laundry trade, her instructors reported that she made little progress. On June 3, 1875 she left Shingwauk on account of ill health. Later she went out to do domestic service and married Robert Brooking. Eliza Jane was student no. 2 at Shingwauk

By the time she left on October 29, 1876 she was reading the 3rd book, her English was fair, and she was a very good seamstress.
