dc.description.abstract | This thesis explores the relationship between exercises of disciplinary power and acts
of resistance as they relate to the negotiation of identities at Spanish Residential School
between the years of 1878 and 1930. The school itself, originally Wikwemikong Industrial
School, was administered by the Jesuits and the Daughters of the Heart of Mary and
relocated to Spanish, Ontario in 1913. Various archival and printed sources have been used
to reveal methods of disciplinary power that administrators used to reshape the Aboriginal
students. However, despite their incessant efforts, the administrators of Spanish Residential
School did not succeed in completely reforming their pupils. The documentary record, then,
also suggests that students at Spanish Residential School, although confined in a very
oppressive institution, creatively used opportunities to alter their circumstances. | en_US |
