Akaitcho Hall opened in Yellowknife, NWT in 1958. The residence was operated by the federal government without church involvement, and, for much of its history, had a large non-Aboriginal population. Inspectors’ reports show that the hostel’s laundry facilities and janitorial storage were inadequate, and that office and counseling spaces were non-existent. Akaitcho Hall was transferred to the Northwest Territories government in 1969, which operated it until 1994.
