First Nations historian’s new book details ‘relentless’ children’s labour at Mt. Elgin residential school

For Mary Jane Logan McCallum, researching the history of student life at Mount Elgin’s residential school is personal. 

The history professor and member of Munsee-Delaware nation first heard about the institution from mentions of her great grandfather and his brother attending. 

Now she’s written a new book outlining the exploitation of children’s labour in residential schooling — focused on the daily gendered labour of boys’ and girls’ between 1890 and 1915. The institution operated for more than 100 years on Chippewa of the Thames First Nation, located about 25 km southwest of London.

Chippewas of the Thames First Nation was home to an Indian Residential School from 1841 to 1949 called the Mt. Elgin Industrial Institute. It was run by the Wesleyan Methodist Society, and later by the United Church of Canada’s Home Board of Missions. (United Church of Canada archives)

“There’s a profound sense of unfairness,” she said.

Her research — which delved into old maps, photographs, school reports, letters and financial documents — found students and parents felt the amount of work was harmful to academic learning and physical well-being. Domestic work done by girls and farm labour work by boys.

The day-to-day labour at the school was done by the children due to “miserly” funding. The training at the school set students up for “lowest levels of the social hierarchy” in Canadian society, she said. 

The school “is a symbol not of education but of hunger, impoverishment, loneliness, punishment, and relentless hard work,” Mary Jane wrote in the book. 

The title, Nii Ndahlohke, is translated to “I work” in Lunaape, the Munsee-Delaware language. 

The book is not the “definitive history of this school,” she said. “This is one history among many that we can learn about.”

Loss of language, culture and tradition were felt

May Jane’s brother, Ian McCallum, translated some vocabulary in the book to Lunaape. He is the only intermediate Lunaape language…

Lauren R. Stevens: What’s in a name for a Northern Berkshire bike trail? Now’s a good time for a better conversation about naming landmarks

Someone posted a note on “Williamstown Issues and Information” suggesting the Mohawk Trail, so labeled on new signs on the Williamstown bike path, wasn’t a good name because it could be confused with the automobile road and because we should consult with Native Americans before borrowing their names.

A response attracted a whopping 72 likes and 54 comments, some for or against the name but most dealing with “cancel culture” — that is, whether we’re being too fussy about the (mis)use of Native American names. As with athletic team mascots.

History is fun — and revealing.

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation provisionally calls it the Mohawk Trail because initial funding came from grants associated with the automobile road. The road got its name, really, from a pageant held in North Adams to celebrate the state’s 1914 improvements to the way over the Hoosac Range. A scene in the pageant depicted the Mohawks’ 1665 trip over a foot path from their Hudson Valley home to drive the Pocumtucks from their Connecticut Valley home. Thus, settlers of European origin found the richest agricultural land in New England already cleared of trees and uncontested in what they called Deerfield.

Entrepreneurs in North Adams and those setting up gift shops, restaurants and cabins on the refurbished road took to the pageant’s “Indian” theme. Gradually, the state came around to following their lead, calling it the Mohawk Trail — even though, rather than Mohawks or Mohicans whose land the trail crossed, the businesses tended to favor Western Native Americans. Their removal and whites’ settlement of the West was fresher in peoples’ minds than Colonial days; the “Big Indian,” which gave its name to a…

Andi Weber

The Haskell Foundation, a nonprofit with the mission of supporting Haskell Indian Nations University, has hired Haskell alum Andi Weber as its new executive director.

Weber, a member of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians of Wisconsin and a descendant of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, joins the foundation from the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes in Fort Hall, Idaho, where she managed more than 20 community and economic development projects as a senior planner. She’ll replace outgoing executive director Aaron Hove, who has guided the foundation since September of 2018.

“For the past almost four years, it has been a privilege to work with the foundation’s Board of Trustees in fulfilling the foundation’s mission of supporting Haskell and its students,” Hove said in a news release from the foundation. “I am very pleased that Andi will be taking the reins for the foundation. With her experience, commitment and energy, I am confident that the foundation will move forward in a very positive and meaningful direction.”

Weber will oversee a $20 million National Science Foundation grant to fund an Indigenous science hub project at Haskell, the largest National Science Foundation award ever granted to a tribal college or university. She’ll also guide the Haskell Foundation’s strategic plans, which include fundraising, alumni relations and capital campaigns.

Money raised by the Haskell Foundation goes toward assisting with the university’s unmet needs beyond the funding appropriated by the Bureau of Indian Education.

WALHONDING − The body of a Brinkhaven man was found Saturday in the Mohican River by the Walhonding Valley Fire Department in Coshocton County.
