    ....isn't it ironic that's why the residential schools were set up in the first place

      To drag them kicking and screaming OUT OF THE STONE AGE! If nothing was done and they still lived as hundreds of years ago, how would that be viewed?

        You should have seen the school my dad went to. You wouldn't even be able to tell the difference. His parents spoke German, English was beat into him. Catholic church in your face every day. Sound familiar?

        The chiefs who signed the treaties wanted their people to learn the white mans ways. Guess that's never meant to be and they should have told us 150 yrs ago.

          ..actually the point i was trying to make was we're really not very good at engineering social machinery to try to improve a situation... it usually doesn't work very well

          i should say we're not good engineering from top down... better at an individual level

              There were cemeteries all over the rural back roads. One in town too.

              Are you asserting that residential schools killed kids?

                I don't recall my dad getting a cheque from the polish priests for beating on him in the old country, or him expecting one.
