Biographical or Historical Data: | "This book focuses on six newspapers written in English and published at five boarding schools: Shingwauk Industrial Home in Ontario (Our Forest Children, 1887-90 and the Canadian Indian, 1890-1); Battleford Industrial School in what would later be called Saskatchewan (Guide, 1891-9); Rupert's Land Industrial School in Manitoba (Aurora, 1893-5); Regina Industrial School in what would later be called Saskatchewan (Progress, 1894-1910?); and Kitamaat Home in British Columbia (Na-Na-Kwa, 1898-1907. More schools had printing programs and newspapers, but I focus on these six publications because they featured news on their schools as opposed to just the neighbouring settler town."--Author, page 16. |
