AP004.S1.D4
Description:
*CONTENT WARNING* This project series documents the Caughnawaga United Church in Kahnawá:ke, Quebec, Canada, which ran the school Caughnawaga Mission (or Caughnawaga Methodist Mission School), recognized as part of the Federal Indian Day School system by the Federal Government of Canada.[1] Please take care in consulting these records and seek help when needed. For more information about the Day School system, please visit https://indiandayschools.com. Note that Kahnawá:ke was previously known as Caughnawaga and the name has been maintained in the project title to preserve the project's historical context. The church was built in 1928 to replace the existing building, which was becoming too small for the congregation. The stained glass of the church was done by Canadian artist Charles William Kelsey. The one-storey building was made from quarried stone, which congregation members moved from quarry to site on horse and buggy.[2] [1] Federal Indian Day School Class Action “Schedule K – List of Federal Indian Day Schools.” https://indiandayschools.com/en/wp-content/uploads/schedule-k.pdf [2] Kahnawake United Church “Kahnawake United Church - Voices of our Elders.” YouTube Video, 23:37, February 8, 2023, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPLYQIJ4c98
