Allegations have been levied against the Catholic Church involving atrocities that were committed at the "Residential Schools" in Canada. Claims have been made that Native American children suffered through human experimentation, torture and died from malnutrition and deliberate Smallpox infection.
Schools taught children what to do in case of an attack. There were air raid drills in schools and students practiced taking shelter under their desks.
They were expected to do what children in schools everywhere do - learn.
In its first year, the commission faced several challenges in the implementation of residential schools, including resistance from Indigenous communities who opposed the removal of children from their families. There were also logistical issues, such as inadequate funding, staffing shortages, and insufficient infrastructure to support the schools. Additionally, the commission struggled with a lack of cultural sensitivity and understanding among staff, which hindered the effectiveness of the educational programs. These problems contributed to high dropout rates and negative outcomes for the children involved.

Residential schools were located across Canada, primarily on reserves and in rural areas. The schools were often operated by churches and the government as part of a policy to assimilate Indigenous children into Euro-Canadian culture.
Residential Schools were established to assimilate aboriginal children into Canadian society
In residential schools, First Nations children were often given inadequate and culturally inappropriate food, such as porridge, bread, and sometimes spoiled food. Many children suffered from malnutrition due to the poor quality and quantity of food provided.
I have attended two postsecondary schools.
All across Canada. Residential schools were common for many Canadians as our population was spread very thinly, too thinly to have schools within a horse or canoe ride. As a result Canadians would send their children to areas with populations large enough to have schools. Many of those schools would have the students stay at the school. Residential schools were also called Boarding schools and still exist today.
Residential schools were isolated schools where aboriginal children were forced away from their families home and culture and were forced to adapt into a white society. these schools were run by the roman catholic church. The aboriginal children who were sent there were often separated by gender, were forced to learn English or french. If they were caught speaking native tongue they would be beaten, locked in closets without food, humiliated, and often were raped. --- Schools where you resided were called Residential Schools. Canada's population was spread across the land and often children had to travel considerable distances to attend school. Residential schools or boarding schools addressed those problems by having children live and often work at schools which were usually far away from home but near major population centres. Today the term usually refers to Canada's aboriginal policy of having racial segregated residential schools off the reserves. These residential schools were run and operated by non-aboriginals and resulted in so much abuse that their history has been apologized for by Canada. We still have racial segregated schools but now they are operated by the Aboriginals themselves and bear no resemblance to the residential schools of the past.
