Rose Prince was a young Indigenous woman who lived during the first half of the twentieth century, spending most of her short life in a Catholic residential school near Fraser Lake, British Columbia, Canada. Shy and retiring in life, Rose's venerators believe that her understated devotion was rewarded by a postmortem miracle generally reserved only for God's greatest saints: incorruption. The Catholic hierarchy and Rose's Carrier people, though at odds on much else, are unanimous that the Lejac Indian Residential School unwittingly hosted a saint between its opening in 1922 and Prince's death in 1949, and the two groups seek together to honor her with an annual pilgrimage to her gravesite. But this fragile unanimity exists in dynamic tension with the two groups’ divergent interpretations of Prince's holiness, particularly as it pertains to the legacy of residential schools. For some within the Catholic hierarchy, Rose's sanctity provides a powerful justification for the much-critiqued assimilative educational system. For many Carrier, however, Prince is its starkest repudiation. For them, Rose was—and is—the heart of a heartless world, incarnating gentle compassion in a system that, while it trumpeted these Christian virtues, itself was notably lacking in them.

寄宿学校的圣徒:运输国玫瑰王子的生死与动荡的来世

Rose Prince 是一位年轻的土著妇女,生活在 20 世纪上半叶,她短暂的一生中大部分时间都在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省弗雷泽湖附近的一所天主教寄宿学校度过。生活中害羞和退休,罗斯的崇拜者相信她低调的奉献得到了通常只为上帝最伟大的圣徒保留的死后奇迹:不腐败。天主教等级制度和罗斯的载体人,尽管在其他许多方面存在分歧,但一致认为,莱雅克印第安寄宿学校在 1922 年开学和 1949 年普林斯去世之间无意中接待了一位圣人,这两个团体共同寻求以每年一次的方式来纪念她去她的墓地朝圣。但这种脆弱的一致存在于两个群体对普林斯圣洁的不同解释的动态紧张中,特别是因为它与寄宿学校的遗产有关。对于天主教等级制度中的一些人来说,罗斯的圣洁为备受批评的同化教育体系提供了有力的理由。然而,对于许多 Carrier 来说,Prince 是其最严厉的否定。对他们来说,罗斯曾经是——现在也是——一个无情世界的心脏,在一个系统中体现出温柔的同情心,虽然它吹嘘这些基督教美德,但它本身却明显缺乏这些美德。
