About this listen
Residential Schools: Canada’s Cultural Genocide
Earlier this year, more than a thousand unmarked graves of indigenous children were found - located on the sites of several former residential schools those very children were forced to attend.
In March of this year, a further 169 potential graves were found at a former school in Alberta.
Often run by Christian orders, the residential schools were viewed as a place to assimilate them, and to - quote - "extinguish the Indian in the child". This NewsFix piece was originally published in December, 2021.
