Summary:
"Residential
schools
- the institutions where attendance by Native children was compulsory as recently as the 1960s. Former students have come forward in increasing numbers to describe the psychological and physical abuse they suffered in these
schools
, and many view the system as an experiment in cultural genocide. In this first comprehensive
history
of these institutions, J.R. Miller explores the motives of all three agents in the story. He looks at the separate experiences and agendas of the government officials who authorized the
schools
, the missionaries who taught in them, and the students who attended them. Starting with the foundations of residential schooling in seventeenth-century New France, Miller traces the modern version of the institution that was created in the 1880s, and, finally, describes the phasing-out of the
schools
in the 1960s. He looks at instruction, work and recreation, care and abuse, and the growing resistance to the system on the part of students and their families. Based on extensive interviews as well as archival research, Miller's
history
is particularly rich in Native accounts of the school system. This book is an absolute first in its comprehensive treatment of this subject. J.R. Miller, a Professor in the Department of
History
at the University of Saskatchewan, is the author of many books and articles on Canadian
history
, including Skyscrapers Hide the Heavens: A
History
of Indian/White Relations in
Canada
