Brenda, what is the secret here?
What is the impact of Residential Schools on First Peoples? What are Residential Schools?
Quote:
The Liberal government will declare a federal statutory holiday to mark the tragic legacy of the residential school system,
to honour the survivors of residential schools
The overall picture is that it is important to have that day set aside so Canadians continually get it and will never ever forget the impact of genocide in the residential schools on Indigenous peoples
I don't even know if that makes sense.

The impact on First Nations peoples was cultural genocide. Children were taken from their families and put into these places to destroy families and by extension cultures.
These schools and the majority were run by the Catholic church took languages away by beating them out of the children when they were heard them spoken. They were allowed NO contact with their parents and extended family while in these places.
Now, on to your other question. I didn't know that the Feds were going to do this but I think it is a good idea. A lot of whites have no idea what these places did.
You, yourself have proven this time and time again. In the US, you have no idea what this has done.
My own family on my father's side has experience with the system down there.

Same thing happened in Australia and in Ireland under British rule. If you want to destroy the culture, wipe out the language.

Did it happen in the United States? I've never heard about this. Was this before, after Reservations, or both.
What agency had authority over this? What century did this occur in?
Was a Residential School a place where ONLY Native American kids were allowed to attend? I don't understand any of this, I don't understand the structure or timeframe.

Yes, the same thing happened in the US. And again the Catholic church was responsible.
Why am I not surprised that you weren't taught about the residential schools down there?
We were more of hidden minority down in the US than even up here in Canada.
First the reservation system was put in place then the residential schools.
The government department in charge was the bloody Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Late 1880s well into the 20th Century. The system went down in the 1970s.
The residential school system was set up for First Nations and Native American children but they also took in Halfbreeds because no whites would want to raise a breed and of course the Indian wouldn't take them because they were half white.
Of course you don't understand YOU and I mean whites in general have their whole culture to look back on and language.
Mine had it ripped away from us after all the Indian wars were done with. Time frame after the first white man set foot on this continent until the later half of the 20th century.

Your timeframe is confusing. The Reservation system in US was after the Louisiana Purchase, 3 centuries after Columbus landed.

This happens to white people too.
The public school system is a terrible thing. It strips away almost any individuality from everybody who goes through it and creates well trained sheep that will one day go on to work for somebody else at a meager salary, all the while teaching whatever agenda of the age is to the children.
If you read 1984, you'll find that Orwell explained this in great detail. How through the school system the kids were essentially turned into spies that would turn their own parents in for behaviors or thoughts that weren't in line with the Hive.
I think it's terrible when cultures are destroyed in this manner. It's already happened to my "people". There is no cultural pride at all in my family, especially in my generation. That pretty much died off when my grandparents did.. My only personal link to it is my only surviving grandmother until her mind completely goes. I doubt my niece will even think of it at all.
It's funny this topic came up in here today. I was just telling my grandma about a great book I read in college called "1,000 Years of Solitude", and how sad it was when their culture was ultimately "killed off" by these means.
If you look back at the threads here about Puerto Rico, this is why I said that they should not try to become an official state to ensure they get relief money for the floods. Their culture will die in a generation or three, there will be a WalMart at every corner, and the island will be turned into a vacation spot for rich people while the once proud Puerto Rican's work as wage slaves for the elite.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Quote:For my parents, Sam Rayburn High School in Pasadena TX was free baby sitting for me, while they worked at Burger King. But if I wanted more from school than my parents, I could choose to learn something. Or not. For the "Not" students (50 years later I still know them, at least the ones that didn’t die as mindlessly as they had lived) they are not doing so well. They stayed faithful to their heritage and their Southern culture. They voted for Trump. It was their choice to goof off back then and since then and bitch constantly about how unfair life is. These guys are not stoical. They did not volunteer for Vietnam, either. They laugh at my limp from Vietnam. They think they were smarter than me. With their high school education, they could only rise so high, but there is no limit to how low they can fall in America. They are perfectly free in America to be as big a failure as they can be, with some of their grandchildren (but not all!) goofing off in high school same as grandpa did in his day. The cycle of failure continues.

Okay I shouldn't have said the first white man. BUT I did include the late 1880s. We had to be in one place in order to do that much damage to us. Yes, they were off reservation.
Children were completely separated from their homes and families. There was no communication allowed.
