That's very interesting and something I will have to do further reading on. Our closest parallel would probably be indigenous reserves and residential schools (read: assimilation schools). I was taught it but I think that may have just been partially where I grew up and a specific teacher that really put care into the subject. Anyone older or who grew up in other parts of the country (Alberta) even today probably don't learn anything about our horrid past (and present, reconciliation is a goal, not reality).
