The Truth About Residential Schools

There were more than a hundred schools that operated for over a hundred years. The government wanted to quell indigenous resistance and continue its colonization of canada, and the church was eager to indoctrinate as many indigenous children as it could. Residential schools became machines of assimilation. One school used a home made electric chair as a form of punishment. Last spring, ground trating radar found what are believed to be the remains of 215 children on the grounds of the camlups indian residential school in british columbia.
