Canada’s Residential Schools: The History, Part 1, Origins to 1939 (2015) examines Canada’s residential school system within the historical context of European efforts to colonize and convert Indigenous people throughout the world. Residential schooling became a strategy of the Canadian government as they attempted to eradicate the Indigenous peoples’ way of life, culture, and language. This volume describes the negative and destructive conditions of the residential schools as the federal government and churches oversaw them. A comprehensive overview of the history and events are provided.
