This article is so good. As a Canadian, learning about the Residential Schooling system has given me a much clearer perspective on Canada's current social issues.

"The term residential schools refers to an extensive school system set up by the Canadian government and administered by churches that had the nominal objective of educating Aboriginal children but also the more damaging and equally explicit objectives of indoctrinating them into Euro-Canadian and Christian ways of living and assimilating them into mainstream Canadian society."(https://indigenousfoundations.arts.ubc.ca/the_residential_school_system/)
