A large part of the stress came from residential schools. Children were taken from their parents to be "raised right" by the government. There is a big debate here in Canada about Canada's founding father John A MacDonald because he approved residential schools. It would be like a debate over George Washington in the US should he be on money, statues erected and so on. Another topic is missing women in indigenous communities. Often murdered by a partner or stranger or simply gone missing without any known reason. It's interesting to see how little talk there is in the US over rights of First Nations (or "Native American") people. It's a daily discussion here in Canada going on for years. |
