"Unveiling the Dark History of Canadian Indian Residential Schools"

In this harrowing episode, we delve into the disturbing history of the Canadian Indian Residential School System. Funded by the Canadian government's Department of Indian Affairs, these schools aimed to isolate Indigenous children from their culture and assimilate them into Euro-Canadian society.

Spanning over 160 years, the system forcibly removed approximately 150,000 Indigenous children from their homes, subjecting them to severe abuses including physical violence, malnourishment, and harsh discipline. The legacy of these institutions is marked by tragic estimates of up to 30,000 child deaths and a system now recognized as cultural genocide.

We also uncover the unethical human experimentation that took place within these schools, involving nutritional deprivation, vaccine trials, and other harmful experiments without the consent of the children or their families. Join us as we explore this dark chapter of history and the lasting impact on Indigenous communities.
