That pic is so sad. Probably happened in many other places too - lower class citizens getting their children taken from them.
But yes about history. History should make us THINK above all.
Keep in mind that the history of residential schools is not what you would read in the media. It's been repurposed for political gain. Counter points to the promoted narrative have been supressed and blame has been shifted where they wanted it. Not saying what they did with the schools was good, but unless you dive deep into it and read some counter points, you won't have a complete idea of what actually happened. I only have a cursory one as well, but enough of one to know that most of what they push about these schools in the news is a carefully crafted political narrative and it's all for political gain. If you want more detail, you can scroll to the wall of text above (a response to a previous comment on this thread) as I go more into what they lie about with respect to the residential school narrative and what they omit and downplay.
