In my career I have done a lot of research on residential schools, and had the extreme displeasure of reading many death reports ( most of which came after 1935 when student deaths reports were standardized). Despite some of the horrific deaths of children, and that children had to watch, the most disturbing part for me has always been the Patronizing indifference of government workers and the federal system as a whole. These people were well aware that Residential Schools were death traps.
