The area under the ladder is perhaps two feet wide by four feet long. It’s damp, moldy, lit by a single light bulb, and has an extremely low ceiling that slopes uncomfortably. Designed for storage and not for humans, when this Brantford, Ontario. The building was the Mohawk Institute residential school, serving as an “isolation ward” for runaways, says Woodland Cultural Center executive director Janis Monture.
“They would put you here for your first offense for one day, one night, with just a bucket,” she says. “If you get caught a second time, two days, two nights.” And though Monture has given tours of the former residential school dorm since the 1990s, her emotion still shapes her voice. “Maybe with a slice of bread that a friend would stick under the door.”
The residential school closed in 1970, and the Woodland Cultural Center opened two years later. By 1975, an arts program began, and in 1983, the Department of First Nations Languages was established to help reverse decades and decades of repression. The building has been in need of major structural repairs for years and will now be renovated into an “interpretive site” filled with information about the building’s past. The Globe’s Dave LeBlanc has the full story.
