A former residential school near Lestock, Sask., about 107 kilometres northeast of Regina, is now a national historic site. 
An effort led by the Muskowekwan First Nation saw the Muscowequan school — the last standing residential school building in Saskatchewan — become a national historic site on Thursday.
Constructed in 1930 and 1931, the school replaced buildings that were used as early as the late 1800s.
