Government's Plan For Indiginous People
- Thread starter davesmom
- Start date
The residential schools were mostly run by Catholic nuns and priests. Yes the government should have been vigilant in ensuring proper conduct in the schools but when did government ever monitor anything to ensure it was handled properly!
There is nothing that can be done now to undo any wrong that was done.
I can't really PROVE anything, just going by the fact they were often referred to as "Catholic schools".

Ummmmmm. No!
Many people apparently yourself included believe it was Catholic thanks to what was happening in the US at the same time. Even Natives thought that too by calling settlement payments "ar$e money". The bandwagon jumpers.
We owe them what we agreed to when we signed the treaties...provided they choose to be nations instead of pretend nations.
Nope 60% Catholic
The Aboriginal Residential Schools were a network of "residential" (boarding) schools for Indigenous Canadians (First Nations or "Indians"; Métis and Inuit). Funded by the Canadian government's Indian Affairs and Northern Development, and administered by Christian churches, predominantly the Roman Catholic Church in Canada (60%), but also the Anglican Church of Canada (30%), and the United Church of Canada (including its pre-1925 constituent church predecessors)(10%).[1] The policy was to remove children from the influence of their families and culture, and assimilate them into the dominant Canadian culture.[2] Over the course of the system's existence, about 30% of native children, or roughly 150,000, were placed in residential schools nationally
Could be...............when I see what looks like drivel I don't generally give it a second thought!
