Words have a past : the English language, colonialism, and the newspapers of Indian boarding schools

Griffith, Jane 1983- (author.).

Summary: For nearly 100 years, Indian boarding schools in Canada and the US produced newspapers read by white settlers, government officials, and Indigenous parents. These newspapers were used as a settler colonial tool, yet within these tightly controlled narratives there also existed sites of resistance. This book traces colonial narratives of language, time, and place from the nineteenth-century to the present day, post-Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Biographical or Historical Data:
"This book focuses on six newspapers written in English and published at five boarding schools: Shingwauk Industrial Home in Ontario (Our Forest Children, 1887-90 and the Canadian Indian, 1890-1); Battleford Industrial School in what would later be called Saskatchewan (Guide, 1891-9); Rupert's Land Industrial School in Manitoba (Aurora, 1893-5); Regina Industrial School in what would later be called Saskatchewan (Progress, 1894-1910?); and Kitamaat Home in British Columbia (Na-Na-Kwa, 1898-1907. More schools had printing programs and newspapers, but I focus on these six publications because they featured news on their schools as opposed to just the neighbouring settler town."--Author, page 16.
