Other students came from the Tsleil-Waututh and Musqueam nations, and others from as far away as the Lil'wat (Mount Currie) band, near Pemberton, as well as the Shishalh (Sechelt) and Sto:lo peoples.

"[8] Andy Paull, one of the leaders of the Allied Tribes of British Columbia - "an organization of coastal and interior Indians whose primary purpose was the advancement of the land claim [demanding recognition of ancestral rights]," received the first six years of his education at the St. Paul's Indian Residential School.

Paull's time at residential school was clearly important to him as he maintained a close relationship with a number of the oblates and nuns for his entire life.

Paul Tennant, for example, notes: "By bringing together children from different tribal groups and by keeping them together for long periods away from traditional influences, while at the same time isolating them from white society, the schools promoted... pan-Indian identity and provided future leaders with essential political resources.

[4] On August 13, 2013 the mayor of the City of North Vancouver agreed to construct a monument honoring the survivors from St Paul’s Indian Residential School.

This is a Squamish Nation design and installation by Jason Nahanee, a residential school survivor who started attending St. Paul’s at the age of 3.

The designer of the plaque is a close family member of a residential school survivor named Shain Jackson.

The monument was funded by Ustlahn Social Society of the Squamish Nation, The Indigenous Women's Studies Institute (Founded by Kultsia Barbara Wyss), The Squamish Nation, The Sisters of the Child Jesus, The Oblates of Mary Immaculate, and The City of North Vancouver.
