            This sub-series consists of records created or acquired by the Oblate Indian-Eskimo Council and its predecessors. The Council was established in Ottawa in 1936 as the Indian Welfare and Training Commission, the goal of which was to coordinate Oblate apostolic work in First Nations missions. This would expand to include the work in the missions, coordinate educational and legal objectives, and to represent, safeguard and enhance the interests of this work to the federal government. The commission was a national organization made up of an administrative committee and those responsible for missions, that is, Oblate Bishops, Vicars Apostolic (later Vice-Provincials) and the Provincials of the Canadian Provinces. The commission was known variously as the Indian and Eskimo Welfare Commission, the Indian and Eskimo Welfare Commission of the Oblates, and the Oblate Indian-Eskimo Council. In 1962, Indianescom was established as a civil corporation alongside the religious organization of the Council. As the Oblates reduced their roles in Indian Residential Schools, Indianescom became more of a liaison body with the federal government and represented the Oblates mostly on federal policy. Both the Oblate Indian-Eskimo Council and Indianescom were dissolved in 1976.

            The records in this sub-series include Council records, national and provincial material relevant to the province, administration and financial records, and education records acquired in the course of the life of the Council. This includes correspondence, reports of annual meetings, finances, reports and studies, articles and handbooks, circulars and bulletins and various publications, as well as some material that postdates the Commission. There are also audio recordings of various conference presentations.

            The sub-series relates to the creation and administration of various schools including Indian Residential Schools (IRS) and orphanages in the Oblate Province of Alberta-Saskatchewan area. The Indian Residential School (IRS) system was established and developed by the federal government in the 19th century, and was overseen by government officials and by various Christian churches and religious organizations throughout Canada. The major denominations were involved, including Anglican, United, Methodist, Presbyterian and Roman Catholic churches, as well as the Oblates of Mary Immaculate and various religious communities of sisters. The government system was implemented to educate First Nations children, but in practice became one of systematic assimilation and cultural genocide. Residential schools would operate for more than one hundred years.

            The Oblates operated 48 schools in Canada. As missions were established, so were boarding schools to evangelize and reach the communities. The goal was to give students a scholastic and religious education, and in some schools, an understanding of industrial or agricultural knowledge. The churches received a monetary grant from the government for each child at a school. The IRS employed Oblates as principals, administrators and teachers, and religious sisters worked at the school, as did lay staff as cooks, farmers, carpenters, blacksmiths and janitors.

            The sub-series consists of records created or accumulated in the course of the administration and operation of Catholic residential and day schools, as well as various separate schools. The records contents and formats vary according to school, but can include correspondence, decisions of administration and operational records related to the running of the school, its students and staff, budgets and financial records of the school or associated farm, registers of academic progress, attendance registers, historical notes and employment and pay reports.
