What were residential schools?

  1. Schools for children of soldiers
  2. Government-funded, often church-run schools that separated Indigenous children from their families
  3. Free universities
  4. Boarding schools for French-speaking students
Why

Residential schools sought to assimilate Indigenous children; many suffered abuse. The Government apologised in 2008.
