Description:
Residential schools were originally designed to integrate children into Canadian society. It all began with three industrial schools that were established in the prairies and from there, the Canadian federal government and churches began to increase the number of residential schools built across the country. Most schools were in the western part of Canada. (Miller, 2018).Added to timeline:
