Document Summary
Not all residential school students had a bad experience: many academic scholars came from residential schools where they had good experiences. But most survivors had horrific experiences: their pain is often projected on their parents, siblings, children. 80 residential schools operated in canada: not many schools in the maritimes and northern canada. This was even worse because these children had to be moved very far from their homes to go to school. Too expensive to send children home for holidays. Other children lived close to where they went to school and were able to go home for holidays: vast majority of residential schools were in western canada, less residential schools in eastern canada. Eastern canada operated many day schools and industrial schools. Wanted aboriginal people to work in blacksmith, carpentry etc. type industries.
