Killing the Indian in the Child

Tuer l'indien dans le coeur de l'enfant

Also known as Matar al indio en el niño: abusos a los indígenas de Canadá, Zabić w dziecku Indianina: wykorzystywanie dzieci Pierwszych Narodów w Kanadzie, Uccidi il nativo che è in ogni bambino: Canada, un genocidio culturale, Tuer l'indien dans le cœur de l'enfant

The Indian Act, passed in Canada in 1876, made members of Aboriginal peoples second-class citizens, separated from the white population: nomadic for centuries, they were moved to reservations to control their behavior and resources; and thousands of their youngest members were separated from their families to be Christianized: a cultural genocide that still resonates in Canadian society today.
