Nitassinan, which comprises most of the northeastern portion of the present-day
province of Quebec and some eastern portions of Labrador.

Residential schools
Talk about
·
Between the 1860s and 1990s 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.
This is where the unmarked graves
come from. These are children who died while in the schools.
There are so many questions about
how this happened.
How did this happen?
How did these children die?
Why?
How could this have happened in Canada?
