‘Witnesses to history’: University makes 3D virtual replicas of residential schools
A new project from the University of Calgary is creating 3D digital records of some Alberta residential schools.
“Why preserve these buildings that are associated with so much tragedy and human trauma? It’s for precisely that reason that we are working with to preserve these schools. Because these schools really are witnesses to history and sites of conscience,” said Dawson, head of the university’s Department of Anthropology and Archaeology.
With the use of lidar technology and original building plans, three dimensional images of the Old Sun Indian Residential School at Siksika Nation, east of Calgary, Blue Quills school in St. Paul, Alta., and Poundmaker’s Lodge Carriage House, which once formed part of the Edmonton Indian Residential School in St. Albert, Alta., have been created.“The sad reality is that many, many people don’t know about this history.
Ayoungman said those who survived residential schools are getting older, and having a digital record will ensure their history survives. “Growing up, they never talked about their experiences, what they went through. So we didn’t really know,” he said.
