A 1907 medical report for Indian Affairs said that 75 per cent of the children who had been students at the File Hills residential school east of Regina had died because of their time spent there. Until 1951, the students spent half their day doing chores. The photo was taken in 1948. (United Church of Canada Archives/TRC)

Former students living today: 80,000
