Book
Canada's residential schools. Volume 3, The Métis experience : the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.
"Canada's Residential Schools: The M©♭tis Experience demonstrates that the M©♭tis experience of residential schooling in Canada is long and complex, involving not only the federal government. The churches wished to convert as many Aboriginal children as possible, and they had no objection to admitting M©♭tis children. At Saint-Paul-des-M©♭tis in Alberta, Roman Catholoic missionaries established a residential school specifically for M©♭tis children in the early twentieth century, while Anglicans opened hostels for M©♭tis children in the Yukon in the 1920s and the 1950s." -- Provided by the Publisher.
