I have to disagree. This isn't actually studying history, this is tuning into the Canadian media network which has been promoting their version of the residential school history for years. No one in Canada is unaware of it. And most in Canada only know about it what they have been told by the government controlled media, which is a carefully crafted political narrative which is being used to divide the country. It is also used to enhance the victim points of the native population and to further promote the idea of white people bad.
It would be a step in the right direction if she actually knew this was propaganda and what the counter-points where to the mainstream narrative on this.
For example, these videos contain some counter points to the mainstream narrative on the residential schools:

The painting itself has one main inaccuracy that is omitted and not historical. The government of Canada (referred to as the crown) has legal stewardship of the natives on reservations to this very day (sounds like slavery to me, but few know about this or care). They are the only ones who ever had the right to separate the native children from their parent. It is the government that took the children from their parents and gave them to various religious groups (not just the ones depicted here).
Here are the following additional omissions and inaccuracies about the residential school narrative as it is presented in the media in Canada:
- The schools were not just Catholic run. Other groups such as the Anglicans and Methodists had schools.
- Several prominent native writers have publicly said they had great experiences at these schools and it helped to set the framer work for their successful writing careers.
- Many non-native parents tried to get their children into some of these schools as some of them actually had very good reputations.
- Many of the children that were put into these schools were taken out of broken families where the parents has serious issues such as alcoholism. The government had spent many years trying to destroy native communities and it did eventually start to take effect, especially when they started to provide them with free money. Keep in mind, until this very day, the natives on reservation are under the stewardship of the crown (Canadian federal government). That's who controls what goes on in these communities.
- The new thing with residential schools is the mass grave hoaxes where ground penetrating radar (which has a very low resolution and CANNOT definitively identify any object) is used as proof for hundreds of unmarked graves. The first article link above goes a bit into this.
