of our main plans in the residential schools is to bring in any aboriginal child and convert them to Christianity. We did not want them to learn about any other faith or culture. We believe Christianity is the most important religion. To prevent any reproduction, we would make sure the students are medically sterilized prior to entering. The reason why students are sterilized is simply because they are either abnormal or aboriginal. We would like to enhance the human population. Many principles…

Residential schools established after the 1880s. Christian churches and Canadian government originally conceived the residential schools. In all residential schools, everything was structured, and children had to follow all rules without regret. We watched a few videos, and the survivor that we chose to research about is Luille Mattess who attended Legac Residential School when she was six years old. We chose Luille because we both thought that she was the one who was telling the story with…

- Residential schools were a bunch of boarding schools for Native Canadians. - It was funded by the Canadian government's Indian Affairs and Northern Department. - The law was to remove children from the influence of their families and way of life and assimilate them into the Canadian culture. - The last residential school was closed in 1996. - A total of 150,000 native children passed away in the residential school system. - In the 19th and 20th century, the Canadian government's Indian…

The residential school system in Canada was a joint initiative between the Canadian Government and the broader Christian Church. The Canadian government involved itself in residential schools to further exert their power over the Indigenous population. As government-funded “institutionalized instruments of control” (Steckley 310, 2017), residential schools can be understood within the context of Erving Goffman’s definition of a total institution. This definition is applicable as Indigenous…

misunderstandings regarding Aboriginal people that non Aboriginals seem to have built in their mind. These misconceptions are all based on stereotypes and the lack of information that non Aboriginals seem to possess about aboriginals. All these misunderstandings are what shape our modern day society, as well as our relationship with the Aboriginal people. Some of the myths that non Aboriginals seem to think are that that all Aboriginals: get free tuition, don’t pay taxes, and that Aboriginal…

culture outside of it. In the rest of Canada, however, people are able to practice their own cultures and religions freely without restrictions. This means that Aboriginal people are denied their freedoms and rights, which is not what Canada does to any other citizen that are not native. Furthermore, the Residential Schools that Aboriginals living on reserves are forced to go to that try to remove their cultures. In the rest of Canada, people are not forced to practice a certain religion, and…

segregation. You know very well that torture was abolished world wide in the late 18th to early 19th century’s. Therefore it is absolutely preposterous to accuse the Canadian state of the use of torture. The residential schools were meant to be the aboriginal children’s best chance for success in the new country we have created. It is true; we were hard on them and if they did not abide by the rules they would get punished but that is not to say that that punishment equaled torture. The marks…

(1876), Canadian federal government became the sole body that was responsible for the First Nations. These responsibilities included but were not limited to: signing treaties, healthcare, education and establishment of reserves. To control which Aboriginals fell into 1876 Act’s jurisdiction, government implemented “Status-Indian” and Indian register that kept information on people who have the status.3 This Indian status is discriminatory, as people registered under it are The only recognized…

would be the deaths of children, the abuse the starvation and much more of the first nation people who had done nothing but been here before the Europeans arrived. The purpose of residential schools was to integrate Aboriginal children into Canadian society. They pursued Aboriginals to think that their kids would learn skills to help them in modern society. Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald hired Nicholas Flood Davin to research industrial institutes in the U.S. Public funding for the schools…

two purposes: to remove and isolate the native children from their homes, families, traditions, and cultures and to assimilate them into the mainstream of the Canadian Christian culture. The system was created by the assumptions of many, that the Aboriginal cultures and their spiritual beliefs were inferior and unequal…
