Summary "Report on the Indian Schools of Manitoba and the North-West Territories" by P. H. Bryce is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This report provides an examination of the Indian education system in Canada, focusing specifically on the schools established for Indigenous children in Manitoba and the Northwest Territories. The document explores the historical context, current conditions, and health issues of the students in these schools. The report outlines the origins and evolution of Indian schools, highlighting the roles of various religious organizations, such as the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England, in establishing educational institutions. It presents a significant overview of the government's financial support for these schools over the years. Through statistical data, it addresses the attendance rates, the challenges faced in retaining students, and concerning health issues prevalent in the institutions, especially tuberculosis and scrofula.
