	Canadian residential school system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is because of this that the residential school system (and indeed the entire Gradual Civilization Act) have been called blatantly racist by native rights groups and have been severly criticized as culturally insensitive or even inhuman.
		Until the late 1950s, residential schools were highly underfunded, and relied on the forced labour of their students to maintain their facilities.
		In the 1990s, it was revealed that many students at residential schools were subjected to severe physical, psychological, and sexual abuse by teachers and school officials.

	CONTEMPORARY ABORIGINAL ISSUES: RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		Residential schools were established for two reasons: separation of the children from the family and the belief that aboriginal culture was not worth preserving.
		Residential school disrupted the smooth transmission of beliefs, skills, and knowledge from one generation to the next, and deliberately divorced the aboriginal child from her background by discrediting her culture, punishing her for speaking her language and preaching the superiority of European attitudes.
		The residential school experience severed the bond between the children and elders in the community, by undermining the role of the elders in a child's education.

	Researcher defends residential schools
		Indian residential schools were not the forces of cultural destruction they are widely portrayed to have been and the government would be wrong to compensate thousands of former students who allege the schools cost them their families, language and heritage, says a researcher for the United Church of Canada.
		He says documents and statistics prove residential schools were part of a decades-old federal policy to help Indians, not to assimilate them, by requiring that native children, like their white counterparts, attend school.
		Of the 40,637 natives enrolled in government schools across Canada in 1960, only 9,109 were in residential schools compared with 22,049 in federal day schools and another 9,479 in regular, provincial public schools.
