Cultural Genocide

For over a century, Indigenous children were forcibly separated from their families and communities to attend these government-funded, church-run institutions. The impact of this policy was devastating, as children were stripped of their language, culture, and identity, as well as being subjected to physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. The scars of this cultural erasure still linger in Indigenous communities today.

Examining the disturbing legacy of the Residential Schools is essential for understanding the breadth of the cultural genocide perpetrated against Indigenous people. By uncovering the truth, we can contribute to the ongoing efforts of healing, reconciliation, and decolonization. This article aims to shed light on the historical context, the stories of survivors, and the ongoing impacts of Canada's Residential Schools. Through this exploration, we hope to foster awareness, empathy, and understanding regarding the resilience and strength of Indigenous peoples and their fight for justice and cultural revival.
