Muscowequan Indian Residential School
Muskowekwan 85, Canada · built 1931
The Muscowequan Indian Residential School was a school within the Canadian Indian residential school system that operated on the lands of the Muskowekwan First Nation and in Lestock, Saskatchewan, from 1889 to 1997. As of 2021, the school building is the last-standing residential school in Saskatchewan. The three-story brick structure was erected in 1931 after the previous building burned down. The school was added to the National Trust for Canada's list of endangered places in 2018. Former students want to see the building restored and used as a museum and archive. In 2018, 331 out of 335 former students voted in favour of keeping the building in place as a reminder of the site's history. The school was designated a national historic site in April 2021.
