Residential School system
Talk about 
Between the 1860s and 1996 (23 years ago) more than 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Métis children were required to attend Indian Residential Schools, institutions operated by religious organizations funded by the Federal Government.
The Canadian government removed First Nation children from their families and communities and placed them in these institutions.
Many children were inadequately fed, clothed and housed, and many were abused, physically, emotionally, and sexually. Their languages and cultural practices were prohibited.
