I mean, around 150,000 innocent First Nations, Inuits and Métis children were pulled out from their communities with no choice and forced to attend residential schools. They lived in bad conditions and experienced physical, psychological and sexual abuse. They were discouraged to speak their native language or practice their native traditions. If they were caught, they would experience severe punishment. Also, it was believed that First Nation children should only succeed if they learned Christianity and spoke English or French. But what has the government done? ONLY GIVE MONEY AND AN APOLOGY! But that doesn’t solve their experiences, their pain, their fear or their anger. We need to stand up and fight for what is right and what needs to be done! For us citizens can control the government</span><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span>Social Studies Classhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00910973207262168206noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754778947865073644.post-72797475047065166272012-10-11T11:55:00.001-07:002012-10-11T11:55:24.792-07:00Julia Fazl, Gr. 10<span lang="FR-CA" style="color: black; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Studying about the residential schools has really impacted me because I didn't even know that they even existed.

<span style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">The study of residential schools and its legacy has really opened my eyes. I never knew anything about the aboriginal people except for the stereotypes we have towards them. I know so much more about their past and them in total now. It is amazing that I and probably many other people in this class have never heard about the residential schools before this lesson. In my opinion it was a terrible thing to do to anybody and the government didn’t think about how it would affect the aboriginals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has really impacted me to wonder what I know about Canada and what I haven’t learned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">I feel terribly sorry for the children who had to go to residential schools because they had to leave their parents at such a young age; I could never imagine such a thing happening to me. The most surprising thing that I learned about the schools is that the churches ran them and that the nuns and priests were the ones that abused the students. The conditions of the schools were terrible and the food that the children ate was disgusting. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">The residential schools were a terrible idea and I am glad that they are not up and running today although they were not stopped that long ago. Now I hope that all the people who went to the residential school will get compensation and hopefully lead a good life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">My view on the aboriginal people will never be the same as it used to be. I am very happy to have learned more about them and I hope that they can become a part of our society.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
