Historical Sketch of Indian Education in the Maritimes.

Hamilton, W. D.

Canadian Journal of Native Education, v13 n1 p2-14 1986

The history of Indian education in the Maritime provinces reveals a predominantly day-school organization with emphasis--throughout contact time--on assimilationist and Christian programs. During the past decade emphasis has shifted to Indian control of Indian education, but the effects of this policy have yet to be clearly felt. (JHZ)
