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
History
,
Part
1
,
Origins
to
1939
places Canada’s
residential
school system in the historical context of European campaigns to colonize and convert Indigenous people throughout the world. In post-Confederation
Canada
, the government adopted what amounted to a policy of cultural genocide: suppressing spiritual practices, disrupting traditional economies, and imposing new forms of government.
Residential
schooling quickly became a central element in this policy. The destructive intent of the
schools
was compounded by chronic underfunding and ongoing conflict between the federal government and the church missionary societies that had been given responsibility for their day-to-day operation. A failure of leadership and resources meant that the
schools
failed to control the tuberculosis crisis that gripped the
schools
for much of this period. Alarmed by high death rates, Aboriginal parents often refused to send their children to the
schools
, leading the government adopt ever more coercive attendance regulations. While parents became subject to ever more punitive regulations, the government did little to regulate discipline, diet, fire safety, or sanitation at the
schools
. By the period'
s
end the government was presiding over a nation-wide series of firetraps that had no clear educational goals and were economically dependent on the unpaid labour of underfed and often sickly children."--Provided by publisher.
