what didn't they do?

Start with a search for the phrase "Killing the indian in the child". That is a deep dive into darkness.

1) Forceful re-adoptions where the government would take kids from Inuit parents and give them to white parents.

2) Residential schools where they would forcefully take a child and send them away from their parents and not allow them to speak their native language or even dress in their native clothes. Someone else mentioned the "graveyards behind schools".
