The vast majority of Native children went to residential schools voluntarily. The adoptions were voluntary too. The government obviously didn't realize the Catholic Church was riddled with abuse. Remember, at the same time this was happening most of the children in Quebec, Ireland, etc. were being taught by Catholic priests and nuns. Authorities were treating Native kids the same way poor, Catholic kids in white countries were treated.
But I'll ask the question again: What would you have done?
