    St. Joseph's Mission (also known as Williams Lake or Cariboo Residential School) was opened by Roman Catholic missionaries in 1891. In 1902 nine boys ran away from the school, one of them dying of exposure. In 1920, nine boys ate poisonous water hemlock in what parents believed to be a response to discipline at the school. One of these boys died. The school closed in 1981. (Photo from the Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre, UBC)
