Education in the Service of Assimilation: The Founding Vision of Residential Schools in Canada
Michael Welton | counterpunch.org | 2019-06-04

They were fed lousy food in lousy buildings. Around 6000 children died of various diseases, particularly tuberculosis. Their own spiritual traditions and practices were attacked mercilessly.
