        Feds from confederation (when Canada was founded/United) till 1996 ran schools with the Anglican Church.

        These schools were designed from the ground to "kill the Indian in the child" federal police would drag these kids away and institutionalize them, forbid them from speaking the language and depriving them of their cultural traditions, some women were sterilized and children were victims of sexual violence.

        There was a report done by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that found what happened amounted to a cultural genocide. You can find it by googling it, pretty easily. It's not easy to read as it details some pretty violent shit.
