They do. I was surprised at the level of detail they were even going into in my son's grade four class. They were telling eight and nine year olds how native children were taken from their families, how the last one closed in the 90s, etc. Definitely good for them to learn starting so young.
The school system has really sparked a lot of interest in native culture for my kids.
