Leah Redcrow believes her grandparents, Ruby and Stanley Redcrow, could have been put in an arranged marriage back when both were students at Sacred Heart Indian Residential School back in 1928.
Records show arranged marriages between residential school students as early as the 1890s, while the Truth and Reconciliation Commission collected testimony from survivors who said they faced forced marriage as late as the 1950s.Leah Redcrow believes her grandparents, Ruby and Stanley Redcrow, could have been put in an arranged marriage back when both were students at Sacred Heart Indian Residential School in Alberta, in 1928.
Special interlocutor still waiting for Canada's response to report on disappeared residential school children Murray said she first became aware of arranged marriages when she was editing a report by the TRC on thewas an experiment by Indian agent William Morris Graham to create an agrarian utopia in Saskatchewan by taking land from the local Cree community, giving it to others and cultivating it for farming, said Karen Brglez, a PhD student in history at the University of Manitoba.
Motherwell would visit these places and select girls to visit the File Hills school for short vacations. Then she would encourage relationships between the visiting girls and suitable boys, Brglez said. After the couples were married, they could be moved onto the File Hills Colony to farm the land and further assimilate.
Anne Lindsay, a historian and archivist who worked for the TRC, said it was also possible some students from different cultures only had one shared language — English or French — furthering their assimilation.
