CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY
Opening Date(s):
September 22, 1873; August 2, 1875; October 3, 1935
When the first Shingwauk Home opened on September 22, 1873, 15 pupils (boys and girls) were
present. However, on September 28, 1873, the Shingwauk Home burned to the ground, just six days
after opening [SWK-1286].
In October, 1874, work was recommenced with 18 children, boys and girls, who, with their matron
and teacher, occupied a frame building temporarily for the winter. On August 2, 1875, the present
Shingwauk Home was publicly opened [SWK-1286].
In 1877, the Algoma Missionary News and Shingwauk Journal reported that land had been purchased
at Sault Ste. Marie as a site for a new home for girls, about 2 ½ miles from Shingwauk. It was
proposed to call the school the Wawanosh Home [SWK-1281].
Upon completion of the building on August 19, 1879, Wawanosh was opened. The first wing of
Wawanosh, was occupied by Indian girls during the past year. The government allowed a grant of
$600 per annum for the education, support and industrial training of fifteen girls. The girls were
instructed in reading, writing, arithmetic, and Christian principals. They were also taught domestic
duties (i.e., cooking, washing, ironing, etc.). Wawanosh was operated for about twelve years, until
Shingwauk was enlarged and the girls were transferred there [1933 - SWK-1261]. [See also 1880 - SWK-0928;
1881 - SWK-1285; SWK-0929; 1882 - SWK-0821; SWK-1286].
A new building, situated behind the old Shingwauk Home, was built in 1934, as it was believed that
the old school was beyond repair [SWK-1452a]. The new school was completed and opened officially on
October 3, 1935 [SWK-0345, SWK-0348; SWK-0352a].
Closing Date:
June 30, 1970
The Shingwauk Student Residence was closed on June 30, 1970 [Documents agree, eg. SWK-1840, SWK1578, SWK-0987].
MANAGEMENT OF SCHOOL
Dates managed by Church

Last updated: June 2004
�Opening to April 1, 1969
See regulations for the Shingwauk Home for the years 1885 and 1886 [SWK-1287; SWK-1288].
The Shingwauk Residential School, though built by the Government [in 1935], was operated by the
Missionary Society of the Church of England. A per capita grant was paid annually by the government
on the understanding that food, clothing and instruction would be provided by the church authorities
[SWK-1486b].
Dates managed by Government
April 1, 1969 to June 30, 1970
All faculty and staff were hired by the Anglican Church of Canada until April 1, 1969, when the
government assumed these responsibilities regarding education [SWK-1452a (1980)].
With the recommendation that Shingwauk should close at the end of the 1970 school year, discussion
arose regarding the disposition of the school property. A memorandum between government officials,
states that the property on which the residence was located was registered in the name of the Algoma
Diocese and that the government had use of that land, together with the Federal building, on a rent
free basis during the operation of the residence [SWK-0277].
With the pending closure of Shingwauk, the Archbishop of Algoma brought to the governments’
attention, the May, 1935 agreement between The Incorporated Synod of the Diocese of Algoma and
the government specifying how the lands should be disposed of, if and when Shingwauk should close
[SWK-1004]. [See also SWK-1578].

SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Date School Buildings Owned by Church: Opening to May 29, 1935
The Shingwauk Home and the land occupied are owned by the Diocese of Algoma. In 1930, plans
were under way for the transfer of the property to the government, but they were not completed [SWK1261].
Date School Building Owned by Government: May 29, 1935 to October 22, 1971
In 1935, the government entered into an agreement with the Anglican Church of Canada to use a
parcel of land comprising approximately 90 acres and located in the city of Sault Ste. Marie. The
agreement stated that the property would be used as a residence for Indian pupils and that the
government would construct whatever buildings were necessary to ensure this purpose [SWK-1456]. In
1935, the government built the new Shingwauk Indian Residential School on the property [Documents
agree, eg. SWK-0343; SWK-0611; SWK-0344]. The old Shingwauk building was demolished [SWK-0605].
The 1935 agreement stipulated that when the government ceased to use the land to maintain a
residential school for Indian children, they would pay to the Synod “...the then fair market value of the
lands...but in ascertaining said value of said lands no allowance shall be made to the Synod for the
value of any building or buildings erected on said lands by His Majesty” [SWK-1454a].
Date School Building Transferred to the Church: October 22, 1971
As per the 1935 agreement, when Shingwauk closed on June 30, 1970, the government was liable to
pay to the Synod a sum of $341, 500.00, the valued price of the land in an appraisal dated August
28, 1970 [SWK-1455].
At the time of closure, the school building was valued at $272, 000.00. The Synod of the Diocese of
-2-
Last updated: June 2004
�Algoma of the Anglican Church of Canada passed a resolution requesting that all of the land and
buildings be transferred to them to fully settle the 1935 agreement [SWK-1456]. It was agreed that
instead of paying the Church for the property, the government would transfer the property and the
buildings back to the Church at no cost, thereby fulfilling any obligation the government might have
had under the 1935 agreement [SWK-1455]. The land transfer was authorized by the Governor General
in Council on February 23, 1971 (P.C. 1971-2/339) [SWK-1456]. The transfer of the land and
buildings to the Incorporated Synod of the Diocese of Algoma for one dollar became official on
October 22, 1971 [SWK-1457a; SWK-1458a].
The church located on the grounds at Shingwauk that was used almost exclusively by the pupils and
staff at the school was retained by the Church and actually was not included in the premises of the
student residence [1970 - SWK-1001].
LAND
Location
The first Shingwauk Home, which opened on September 22, 1873 (and burned down six days later),
was located at Garden River [SWK-1286].
Most Principal’s Annual Reports dated after 1907 specify that the Shingwauk Home was situated on
the bank of the St. Mary’s River, one and one half miles east of the central part, and within the town
limits of Sault Ste. Marie, the area of land consisting of 93 acres, comprising park lots one and two in
Tarentorus township [SWK-0852; SWK-0854; SWK-0855].
Dates Land Owned by Church:
Opening to May 29, 1935; October 22, 1971 [see “Date Land Transferred Back to the Church”]
On February 8, 1875, the Reverend E.F. Wilson deeded in trust 90 ½ acres of land, on which the
Shingwauk Home is built, to the Bishop of Algoma, and to his successors in office, for the benefit of
the said Shingwauk Home [SWK-1284].
In 1910, Reverend E.F. Wilson quit claims to the land in the usual form to The Incorporated Synod of
the Diocese of Algoma. Some doubt had arisen as to the power of the Synod to mortgage or sell the
lands comprising Shingwauk, and Reverend Wilson gave the quit claim with a clause consenting to the
conveyance of the lands to the Synod in fee simple and releasing same from all restrictions, trusts and
conditions in the deed made by him to Bishop Fauquier in 1875. The result of the conveyances was to
vest the property comprising Shingwauk in The Incorporated Synod of the Diocese of Algoma without
same being subject to any trust [SWK-1587 (1930)].
Land was acquired by purchase by Church of England authorities and held in trust by His Lordship the
Bishop of Algoma [SWK-0852; SWK-0854; SWK-0855].
Date Land Transferred to Government: May 29, 1935 - October 22, 1971
Plans were proposed in 1929 for the Church to transfer the property to the government, but were not
completed [SWK-1588, SWK-1261].
On May 29, 1935, the Incorporated Synod of the Diocese of Algoma and the government entered
into an agreement where the Anglican Church transferred to the government a parcel of land so that
the government might construct a student residence [SWK-1455]. The 90 ½ acres of land were to be
held by the government “...to be used solely for the purpose of maintaining thereon a residential
school for Indian children to be called ‘The Shingwauk Indian Residential School.’” The agreement
stipulated that if and whenever the government ceased to use the land for the purpose of maintaining
a residential school for Indian children, the government “...shall pay to the Synod the then fair market
value of the lands herein before conveyed...” [SWK-1454a].
The government had use of the land, together with the Federal building on a rent-free basis for the
operation of the residence with the option to purchase the land, effective the date the administration of
the residence transferred from the Church to the government [SWK-1577].
Date Land Transferred back to the Church: October 22, 1971

�As per the 1935 agreement, when the Shingwauk Student Residence closed on June 30, 1970, the
government became legally liable to pay the Church the amount of $341, 500.00 - the value placed
on the land in an appraisal by the Veterans’ Land Act Administration dated August 28, 1970 [SWK1456]. Since the government no longer required the property, they negotiated with the Anglican Church
to determine an alternative way to bring the transaction to a conclusion that would satisfy both parties
[SWK-1455]. The Synod of the Diocese of Algoma of the Anglican Church of Canada passed a
resolution requesting the transfer of all the land and buildings to fully settle the 1935 agreement [SWK1456]. It was agreed that instead of paying the Church for the property, the government would transfer
the property and the buildings [see “School Buildings” section of the report for further details re buildings] back to the
Church at no cost, thereby fulfilling any obligation the government might have had under the 1935 agreement [SWK-1455].
The land transfer was authorized by the Governor General in Council on February 23, 1971 (P.C.
1971-2/339) [SWK-1456].
On May 14, 1971, the Government leased to The Incorporated Synod of the Diocese of Algoma, for
$1.00, “...that certain parcel or tract of land...which is generally known as Shingwauk Hall Indian
Student Residence.” The lease was for a term of one year from June 1, 1971, or until the property was
legally transferred to the Synod [SWK-1459b].
The transfer of some 50.056 acres of land to the Incorporated Synod of the Diocese of Algoma for
one dollar became official on October 22, 1971 [SWK-1457a; SWK-1458a].

DOCUMENTS REFERRING TO SCHOOL INCIDENTS
To date, we are unaware of any convictions for abuse at Shingwauk IRS or of any convicted
abusers present at the school.
The following suggestions of abuse, listed chronologically, comprise all known identifiable
complaints and/or allegations received by government officials and all available information
regarding the follow-up and outcome:
Incidents (Sexual)
ca. 1916
Documents concerning alleged sexual abuse by former student perpetrated by
principal. No fault was attributed to the principal. [SWK-1531d, SWK-1401a, SWK1401b, SWK-1401, SWK-1402, SWK-1405, SWK-1406, See also SWK-1403; SWK-1404].
Incidents (Physical)
October, 1944
A couple of students ran away from Shingwauk. When asked, the students
stated that they ran away because the farm instructor abuses them, makes
them work like men, and at times, chases them with a pitch-fork. [SWK-1527].
[See also SWK-1525].
Incidents (Student on Student)
ca. February 1958
An application was made for the approval of the discharge of a student, due
to sexual assaults perpetrated by him against female students at Shingwauk
[SWK-1556a].
August, 1959
An application was made for the discharge of a student “...on the grounds of
deliberate, malicious and dangerous cruelty to a younger boy. [SWK-1529b]. [See
also SWK-1529; SWK-1529a; SWK-1529c; SWK-1530].
1960
Permission was granted to discharge a student “...who is a bully and a brute,
disregards any direction from the staff and only recently beat up a smaller boy
using his feet to kick him about” [SWK-1567; SWK-1567a]. In the application for
-5-

�his discharge, it is noted that “...the most serious aspect was his practice of
cruelly bullying smaller boys” [SWK-1569b]. The principal also remarked that the
student had set fire to a bedspread on another boy’s bed, by carelessly
dropping a match on some paper, and that he “...had beaten a smaller boy
about the shoulders and head while on the way to church on Sunday.” A
supervisor reported that the student had been hurting another small boy. [SWK1569c; SWK-1572b (duplicates, except for attachments)].
Other documents related to suggestions of abuse
1964
A father wrote to the Chapleau Indian Agency to apologize because his
daughter did not go back to Shingwauk. “As she didn’t want to go back to
Shingwauk. She wanted to board out very bad. She said that she wasn’t
treated good there. She was going to go back alright if she was to board out.
So this is all I have to say” [SWK-0520].
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ca. June 1902
Document reporting the abduction of two girls from Shingwauk [SWK-1439b].
Correspondence regarding this abduction suggested that “[i]t is supposed his
object was to get the girls away to Duluth for immoral purposes” [SWK-1472].
[See also SWK-1439].
September, 1915
A mother wrote to the government complaining of the conditions she found her
children in at Shingwauk, with respect to the presence of lice, quality of
clothing, hygiene and lack of eye care [SWK-1398].
October, 1942
A father wrote to the Indian Agent at Sault Ste. Marie to request that the Agent
investigate the complaint brought to his attention regarding his children who
were attending Shingwauk. He wrote that his children “...are mistreated also
improperly dress [sic] for this cold weather. [SWK-0511].
In response to the letter, Indian Agent R.P.G. Laurence advised that he had
looked into the complaints, but found no reason for them. However, he also
suggested that at the time of his visit, it was a warm day and that the children
in question both had underwear on. [SWK-0510].
1954
In the Principal’s request to discharge a student, he reported that the boy had
been consistently rude to members of the Staff, and is well-known as a bully to
smaller boys. The Principal wrote, “...was reported to me for hitting a smaller
boy and spitting in his face” [SWK-0662b]. [See also SWK-0664; SWK-0662; SWK0662a; SWK-0662c; SWK-0659].
Two people went to another individual’s home to pick up a pupil from
Shingwauk. The boy stated that he did not like the supervisor at the Residential
School. [SWK-0660].
