established with the assumption that Native culture was inferior and unable to adapt to modern society
Children were taught to read and write English or French, and encouraged to adopt Christianity
they were discouraged from speaking their Native language or practicing Native traditions
If students were caught, they would experience severe punishment
the conditions in most schools were terrible, with overcrowding and frequent diseases
Government spending on residential schools was a fraction of what it dedicated to non-Native education
School buildings were often in disrepair, having been constructed in the cheapest manner possible
Children received neither proper nutrition or proper clothing
Many children also routinely suffered physical, emotional, and sexual abuse
Thousands of children died from disease, malnutrition, neglect, and abuse

The death toll ranged from 25% to almost 50%
Friends were told they were “gone” and parents were told they got sick and died, without return of their loved ones’ remains

There is no empirical evidence that globalisation increases child labour. If anything, globalisation reduces child labour. In a country that starts out with a largely uneducated workforce, globalisation raises the wage rate of uneducated, relative to educated workers.
