In 1927, a Roman Catholic church was built at this site on the O-Chi-Chak-Ko-Sipi First Nation in northern Manitoba. It was served for over 60 years by a priest who commuted from Toutes-Aides. Closed in 1989 and destroyed by fire on 16 August 2004, the church is commemorated by a monument, along with a fenced cemetery. In 2009, it became a municipally-designated historic site.
