Description: This is a photo of female students at the St. Joseph's Mission Indian Residential School, a part of the Canadian Indian residential school system. The girls are sewing, either to learn a trade, or to raise funds for the school. The year this photo was taken is unknown, but the photo is known to have been taken between 1891 and 1939. The original photo is owned by the Museum of the Cariboo-Chilcotin, but the museum made this photo available to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, who included it in the final report of the TRC, Volume 1: History, Part I, Origins to 1939, chapter 21, page 560. The entire report was published in the public domain, so this photograph is now also in the public domain.
