class=\"text-center\">SHINGWAUK HALL<\/h3>\n<p class=\"prntaj prnml40\">The Shingwauk Indian Residential School operated on this site from 1875 to 1970 as part of the Canadian Residential Schools system. An Anglican minister, E.F. Wilson, named this school for Chief Shingwaukonse (Little Pine). Shingwaukonse had a vision of creating teaching wigwams where Anishinaabe and settler children would learn from each other&#8217;s cultures. In 1935, Shingwauk Hall was built to replace the former school building, known as the Shingwauk Industrial Home. The assimilationist Residential School created in Shingwaukonse&#8217;s name did not fulfil his vision for cross-cultural education. At its peak, 150 First Nation, M\u00e9tis and Inuit children were removed from their homes every year, most of them forcibly, and forbidden to speak their languages. Education focused on physical or domestic labour, English language and religious instruction and was meant to break cultural, linguistic and\u202ffamilial ties, often separating siblings. The cemetery on site includes burials for over 120 students and staff, with many remaining unmarked. Since the closure of the Residential School in 1970, Survivors have formed the Children of Shingwauk Alumni Association, which works to dedicate Shingwauk Hall to cross-cultural education in the true vision of Chief Shingwaukonse and the healing of communities from the harms of Residential Schools.<\/p>\n<h3><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><div class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"text-center\">SHINGWAUK HALL<\/h3>\n<p>Le pensionnat indien de Shingwauk, int\u00e9gr\u00e9 au syst\u00e8me canadien des pensionnats autochtones, accueille des \u00e9l\u00e8ves sur ce site entre 1875 et 1970. Le pasteur anglican E. F. Wilson nomme l\u2019\u00e9cole en hommage au chef Shingwaukonse (Little Pine), qui souhaite cr\u00e9er des wigwams d\u2019enseignement o\u00f9 les enfants anishinaabe et ceux des pionniers pourraient s\u2019enrichir de leurs cultures respectives.

Au plus fort de son activit\u00e9, 150 enfants des Premi\u00e8res Nations, m\u00e9tis et inuits sont chaque ann\u00e9e retir\u00e9s de leur foyer, le plus souvent de force, et se voient interdits de communiquer dans leur langue maternelle. L\u2019enseignement, ax\u00e9 sur les travaux manuels et m\u00e9nagers, l\u2019anglais et l\u2019instruction religieuse, vise \u00e0 annihiler les liens avec la culture, la langue et la famille, et brise de nombreuses fratries. Le cimeti\u00e8re du site accueille les s\u00e9pultures de plus de 120 \u00e9l\u00e8ves et membres du personnel, dont beaucoup sont anonymes.

These schools existed for over 100 years across <span class=\"xn-location\">Canada<\/span> and were endured by generations of Indigenous children. The Trust is committed to truth-telling, to educating on residential schools and their legacy.<\/p>\n<p>Commemorating these difficult stories through the Provincial Plaque Program is one of the ways that the Trust aims to provide an opportunity for all to learn and reflect about the full complexity of our shared heritage. Several stories told through the Provincial Plaque Program have excluded the perspectives of Indigenous peoples, and as a result have misrepresented the past.<\/p>\n<p>The Trust will continue to listen and pay respect to the wisdom of Elders and Knowledge Keepers and engage with First Nations and M\u00e9tis communities to incorporate Indigenous perspectives into its work. Work is currently in progress to revisit more plaques and address gaps or misinformation in past interpretations of residential schools&#8217; history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the Ontario Heritage Trust, in partnership with the Children of Shingwauk Alumni Association (CSAA) and Algoma University, unveiled a new provincial plaque commemorating &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-district","category-indigenous"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-10 20:50:46","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56676"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56676\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":56680,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56676\/revisions\/56680"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
