The document summarizes the history of residential schools in Canada. It begins with introductions of the three authors. It then discusses how the Canadian government created residential schools in the 19th century to assimilate Indigenous children into Canadian culture by forcing them to abandon their own cultures. The schools had poor living conditions and many children suffered physical, verbal, and sexual abuse. The document outlines the goals, history, experiences of children, and long-lasting impacts of the residential school system in Canada.
