Nuns and priests ran residential schools primarily as part of a mandate from the government to assimilate Indigenous children into Euro-Canadian culture. These religious institutions aimed to educate Indigenous youth in Western values and Christianity, often at the expense of their cultural identities and languages. The schools were often marked by neglect and abuse, reflecting a broader colonial effort to erase Indigenous cultures. This practice has had lasting impacts on Indigenous communities, contributing to intergenerational trauma.

What are similarities on Catholic school and Christian school?

Catholic AnswerThe similarities would be pretty impressive as they are the same thing, if you are referring to Catholic schools and protestant schools, you need to ask that question. AnswerCatholics are a particular group of people who fall under the jurisdiction of the Pope and called as Catholics. So the schools run by the priests or nuns are called as Catholic schools. Whereas there are some other group of Christians like the Protestants, Orthodox Christians, etc have their own institutions and these are known as Christian schools. So the main difference is that the Catholic schools are run by the Catholic Church and the Christian schools are run by other Christian sects.


Who created residential schools?

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.
