Pine Creek Residential School

The Pine Creek Residential School (also known as Camperville Indian Residential School) operated from 1890 to 1969 and was situated in Camperville, Manitoba, Canada. The community lies along Lake Winnipegosis and is largely inhabited by Métis residents. It was part of the Canadian residential school system, which was funded by the federal government and primarily operated by Christian churches and religious organizations. The school was operated by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate alongside various groups of Catholic nuns. The school was attended by Indigenous children from surrounding communities, including Anishinaabe and Métis students. As with other residential schools in Canada, the system aimed to assimilate Indigenous children into Western society by suppressing their traditional ways of life. The residential school system has been associated with lasting impacts, including the loss of Indigenous languages, cultural practices, and knowledge.
