Canada's residential schools. the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Volume 3 The Métis experience

Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (author,, issuing body.).

Summary: "Canada's Residential Schools: The Métis Experience demonstrates that the Métis 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 Métis children. At Saint-Paul-des-Métis in Alberta, Roman Catholoic missionaries established a residential school specifically for Métis children in the early twentieth century, while Anglicans opened hostels for Métis children in the Yukon in the 1920s and the 1950s."
