The School
The Mohawk Institute as it stands, the 1904 building drawn after a photograph; the school told plainly in eight lines, from Brant’s wish for a school that kept a people to the residential years, the Woodland Cultural Centre, the office’s own record of 2011, and the people’s own schools today, with the Indian Residential Schools Crisis Line; and its years on one line, the residential years shaded. The web edition shows the restored building drawn after its photograph with a morning coming up behind it and an owl on its roof that leads to the promise restored; a quiet minute dims the page to dusk with one window lit; the children’s writing on the walls is shown only as marks; and each year reads at a tap, 1904 showing the old building burning and falling and the brick building rising in its place, with the support lines always on the page, the school at a glance, the Calls to Action on the missing children, and the promise restored.
