Biographical history
Winona Orr Carruthers (nee Orr) began teaching school at Saint Peter's Anglican Mission in Hay River when she was 18 years old. She taught there between 1903 to 1909. The mission was established in 1893 by the Reverend Thomas Jabez Marsh. It contained a boarding school for approximately 40 students from a variety of linguistic groups including Chipewyan, Slavey, Dogrib, Yellowknives, Dunne-za, Mountain Dene and Gwich'in. Approximately ten years later, a church and hospital were added to the boarding school. The Anglican Church received a subsidy from the Federal Government for each student at the mission and by 1906 there were 30 students enrolled in the school. Topics taught at the school included reading, writing, arithmetic, composition, grammer, geography, dictation, literature, history and the Holy Scripture, as well as occasional lessons in the students native languages, both in Syllabics and Roman Orthography.
