The cultural suppression that was carried out in Canada’s residential schools added a different dimension of cruelty. But the treatment of indigenous children in terms of living conditions, beatings, and vulnerability to abuse was not much different from the lethal callousness with which children were treated in Church-run institutions elsewhere. |
This needs deaths per student comparisons with Canadian Catholic schools if you want to use a “similar treatment as non indigenous people”.
If you read Ryersons writings he held that the treatment of indigoness people would be intentionally different.
