Summary:
Between 1867 and 2000, the Canadian government sent over 150,000 Aboriginal children to
residential
schools
across the country. Government officials and missionaries agreed that in order to "civilize and Christianize" Aboriginal children, it was necessary to separate them from their parents and their home communities. For children, life in these
schools
was lonely and alien. Discipline was harsh, and daily life was highly regimented. Aboriginal languages and cultures were denigrated and suppressed. Education and technical training too often gave way to the drudgery of doing the chores necessary to make the
schools
self-sustaining. Child neglect was institutionalized, and the lack of supervision created situations where students were prey to sexual and physical abusers. Legal action by the
schools
' former students led to the creation of the
Truth
and
Reconciliation
Commission
of
Canada
in 2008. The product of over six years of research, the
Commission
's
final
report
outlines the history and legacy of the
schools
, and charts a pathway towards
reconciliation
.
Canada
's
Residential
Schools
: The
Inuit
and
Northern
Experience
demonstrates that
residential
schooling followed a unique trajectory in the North. As late as 1950 there were only six
residential
schools
and one hostel north of the sixtieth parallel. Prior to the 1950s, the federal government left
northern
residential
schools
in the hands of the missionary societies that operated largely in the Mackenzie Valley and the Yukon. It was only in the 1950s that
Inuit
children began attending
residential
schools
in large numbers. The tremendous distances that
Inuit
children had to travel to school meant that, in some cases, they were separated from their parents for years. The establishment of day
schools
and what were termed small hostels in over a dozen communities in the eastern Arctic led many
Inuit
parents to settle in those communities on a year-round basis so as not to be separated from their children, contributing to a dramatic transformation of the
Inuit
economy and way of life. Not all the
northern
institutions are remembered similarly. The staff at Grandin College in Fort Smith and the Churchill Vocational Centre in
northern
Manitoba were often cited for the positive roles that they played in developing and encouraging a new generation of Aboriginal leadership. The legacy of other
schools
, particularly Grollier Hall in Inuvik and Turquetil Hall in Igluligaarjuk (Chesterfield Inlet), is far darker. These
schools
were marked by prolonged regimes of sexual abuse and harsh discipline that scarred more than one generation of children for life. Since Aboriginal people make up a large proportion of the population in
Canada
's
northern
territories, the impact of the
schools
has been felt intensely through the region. And because the history of these
schools
is so recent, the intergenerational impacts and the legacy of the
schools
are strongly felt in the North.
