Good afternoon. There are quite a few photos available at the Edmonton City Archives, the Provincial Archives of Alberta, and the National Archives in Ottawa. If you contact them directly and tell a reference archivist what it is you’re interested in and the dates, they can help you out. There are also lots of photos in old issues of the Camsell Arrow and Pictorial Review, although those stopped in 1969 (they’ve got back copies in hard copy at Edmonton City Archives and on microfilm at PAA). Enoch Archives at Enoch Cree Nation also have a growing photo collection from the Camsell. Hope this helps! If you have any more questions, don’t hesitate and I’ll try and help!

Hi Brad, Thanks very much for your note! I’m hoping to talk with someone at Poundmaker’s down the road when I have some more funding and time in place for this research. I hope we can connect further on this so I can learn more. Best, Danielle

Poundmaker’s Lodge Treatment Centres has conducted much research in this area based on conversations with elders who previously attended the Edmonton Indian Residential School. There is much to be learned.

With regards to the blank spaces; we know that several children who attended the St. Albert residential school and who were NOT at the Charles Camsell, are buried in this cemetery. I suspect and believe that these are the unrecorded graves of these lost children.
If records did exist, they were often destroyed upon closure of the school. St. Albert residential was not catholic, and therefore had a head master and matron. The head master resided in one of the homes still standing next to Poundmaker’s. I have more info and would be interested in sharing via email. Hai Hai.

Was there any religious organizations that were involved in any form? For instance if a Priest performed a service perhaps there would be records?

I can certainly understand why they might be restless. It’s quite the history that has echoes into the present day.
