I am not making excuses for anybody , I just think that the sexual abuse wasn’t as widespread as is being inferred and I think the definition of abuse has been abused in the context of residential schools . I sat in on some of the hearings during the Nisga negotiations and those native lawyers were all products of the residential school system . And they did a ok .
I think it depends on where and what time frame. I have worked with many natives that made it through residential schools and if even half the stories are true there was a big problem.

Maybe you should look into the reformatory the Jesuits ran here.

the law suit payouts were huge and undeniable.

AS with many of the older payouts from the church, you may have to dig for the news.
