Indigenous Peoples and Environmental Change
Residential schools were government-sponsored religious schools established in the 19th and 20th centuries aimed at assimilating Indigenous children into Euro-Canadian culture. These institutions often removed children from their families and communities, leading to significant cultural disruption and trauma for Indigenous Peoples. The legacy of residential schools has contributed to long-term demographic changes and health disparities among Indigenous populations.
