Indigenous Peoples
Effects of these schools
Survivors now suffer from trauma including physical, mental, and emotional.
Indigenous culture is silenced and became lost. Since the children weren't allowed to speak their language, and most indigenous languages aren't written down, much of it is now lost.
They had to forget about their native traditions and learnt English or french, and became Christians. Because of that, going back home after their times at the schools were difficult as they had no way of communicating with their people.
Reconciliation?
Compensation was given to the survivors in 2005. It was called the "Common Experience Payments." They were also given around $10,000 per student.

In addition, support groups were set up

BLANKETS
In 1670, the Hudson's Bay Company was chartered. King Charles II granted the company an absolute trade monopoly in over 1 million square miles of land. Some of the land were still occupied by the natives. The company traded furs and blankets.
Although the land was occupied by the natives, King Charles ignored the fact and granted permission for his Englishmen to hunt.
Managers of the Bay often took advantage of the natives. For example, if the company wanted to trade 7 beaver pelts, they would often extract 14, and kept the extra fur to themselves for profit.
In 1869, the Bay decided to sell the Rupert's Land to the government of. Canada.
Rupert's land was still rightfully the Native's land, not the company's.
