Residential schools were government-sponsored religious schools established to assimilate Aboriginal children into Euro-Canadian culture. It was very inhuman; they were little children; little human beings.Originally posted by mazdavirgin
Man you seriously don't have a clue. My grandparents attended residential schools guess what they were not First Nations. No their parents were farmers in the middle of nowhere and that's how you educated your kids. You sent them off to school AKA residential school.
Yeah and let's ignore the fact that the First Nations were happily killing each other and performing genocide on each other and blame all those damn pesky Europeans for all the troubles in the world. Not to mention the First Nations were quite happy keeping slaves and whatnot but eh. Let's go with the noble savage mythos.
