Less well-known is the history of day schools, which some two hundred thousand Indigenous youth attended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Curve Lake Indian Day School operated for over ninety years, from 1899 to 1978. Implementing Indigenous community research practices, Jackson Pind, alongside the Chief and Council of Curve Lake First Nation, conducted a search of the federal archive on operations at the school. \u003cem\u003eStudents by Day\u003c\/em\u003e presents the findings, revealing that the government failed in its fiduciary duty to protect students. Harmful and discriminatory policies forced children to abandon their language and culture and left them subject to many types of abuse. To supplement this documentation, Pind also interviewed survivors of the school, who shared their often difficult testimony. He situates Curve Lake’s development and operations within the wider context of Canadian assimilation policies, noting the lasting impacts on Anishinaabe identity and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only recovering the archive, written and oral, but building on files repatriated to the community, \u003cem\u003eStudents by Day\u003c\/em\u003e is a story of Indigenous resilience, activism, and hope in the face of educational injustice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56700047819126,"sku":"9780228026044","price":25.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_37682749.jpg?v=1763625426","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780228026044-students-by-day","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
