Answer 1

In 1876, the Indian Act was created in Canada.

The purpose of residential schools was to assimilate Indigenous children into Euro-Canadian culture by removing them from their families and communities. These schools aimed to educate Indigenous children in a way that promoted Western values and beliefs, often at the expense of their own cultures and identities.
