The Regina Industrial School was opened in 1890, in what is now the province of Saskatchewan. Indian Affairs put pressure on band chiefs to send their children to the school. A 1904 study showed that on a per person basis, twice as much was being spent on food for teachers as for students, and that, at a time when the school had a deficit, the principal was supplying himself with luxury foods. The poor conditions at the school led to a continued low enrollment. The school was closed in 1910.
