Summary:
"
Canada
's
Residential
Schools
: The
History
,
Part
2
,
1939
to
2000
carries the story of the
residential
school system from the end of the Great Depression to the closing of the last remaining
schools
in the late 1990s. It demonstrates that the underfunding and unsafe living conditions that characterized the early
history
of the
schools
continued into an era of unprecedented growth and prosperity for most Canadians. A miserly funding formula meant that into the late 1950s school meals fell short of the
Canada
Food Rules. Overcrowding, poor sanitation, and a failure to adhere to fire safety rules were common problems throughout this period. While government officials had come to view the
schools
as costly and inefficient, the churches were reluctant to countenance their closure. It was not until the late 1960s that the federal government finally wrested control of the system away from the churches. Government plans to turn First Nations education over to the provinces met with opposition from Aboriginal organizations that were seeking "Indian Control of Indian Education." Following parent-led occupation of a school in Alberta, many of the remaining
schools
came under Aboriginal administration. The closing of the
schools
coincided with a growing number of convictions of former staff members on charges of sexually abusing students. These trials revealed the degree to which sexual abuse at the
schools
had been covered up in the past. Former students, who came to refer to themselves as Survivors, established regional and national organizations and provided much of the leadership for the campaign that led to the federal government issuing in 2008 an apology to the former students and their families."--Provided by publisher.
