What Did Residential Schools Do

     Residential schools were a system the Canadian government set up and administered by churches that have the nominal of education Aboriginal children. They would use damaging and equally explicit ways into introducing the children into Euro-Canadian and Christian ways of living . They used terrible ways of assimilating them int the mainstream Canadian society.
     They forcibly removed the children from their homes, took them away from their families, forbid to acknowledge their own culture, language and Aboriginal heritage.
     Some ways to eliminate all aspects of Aboriginal culture consisted of, cutting their hair short, uniforms, days strictly regimented by timetables, boys and girls kept separate, siblings rarely saw each other therefore weakening family ties. Most importantly, they were forbidden to speak their own language and practice their own culture.
