The Jesuit Residential School at Spanish

Résumé du livre

"The Jesuit Residential School at Spanish, More Than Mere Talent is based on exhaustive research in the Archives both of the Department of Indian Affairs and of the Jesuits of Upper Canada, as well as on many interviews with Alumni and former staff. Dr. Shanahan's study tells the story of the school days of the hundreds of young native boys who attended the Jesuit schools on the Wikwemikong Reserve and at the Residential School in Spanish, Ontario. It provides a through description of the classes, the diet and living conditions, the sporting and other recreational activities at the schools as well as the religious practices of both students and staff. The Jesuit Residential School at Spanish, More Than Mere Talent describes the experiences of the relationship between aboriginal culture and white society in a residential school context. Shanahan does not attempt to tell the "Jesuit" side of the story, but rather focuses on the students' experiences insomuch as it is possible to do so from the archival record. "It is history, nothing more"."-- from ://globalgenealogy.com/countries/canada/first-nations/resources/1110150.htm.
