Cross Lake Roman Catholic Residential Boarding School

Cross Lake Residential School was a Canadian Indian residential school located on Nelson River in Manitoba. The school operated for 54 years between 1912 and 1969. Cross Lake was the main residential school for the province of Manitoba. Between 1930 and 1960, the government was fully funding two separate schools, the Norway House and Cross Lake. Cross Lake Residential School was also known by nine other names consisting of; Jack River Annex, Norway House Roman Catholic, St. Joseph's Indian Residential School, Norway House Boarding School, Cross Lake Residential School, Cross Lake Roman Catholic Residential School, Cross Lake Indian Industrial School, Cross Lake Roman Catholic Boarding School and St, Joseph's Indian Boarding School. "The school's objective was to 'civilize' Indigenous children, a process that involved strict English-only policies, Christianization efforts, and a curriculum that largely ignored or denigrated Indigenous cultures and knowledge."
