Thesis
Residential schools became places to be hated for their severe assimilation and abuse. Most what has truly happened has been lost due to many of the victims being left with some form of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. What caused these places of abuse and assimilation to be and what has happened to them? This essay hopes to help develop a better understanding for what caused the residential schools to come to fruition and create a small collection of details of what happened in the residential schools. Also, the essay looks towards some of the ways that the government has apologized and have yet to do, so as to reconcile themselves.
