Taking everything into consideration, residential schools did have intergenerational impacts on First Nations. It made sure that the destructive ways of assimilating them were buried inside their memory leaving them distressed. Personally speaking, even though residential schools failed to ensure First Nations a good quality of life I believe residential schools have somehow helped survivors in becoming a better version of themselves than they were because, First Nations are now trying their best to break the cycle that was caused as a result of the residential schools experience by revitalizing what was taken from them such as culture, identity, language and family, and also by getting justice. The past can not be changed, but a better future
