I have no idea where you would get an idea like that. They wanted the things that had been promised to them. Which weren't delivered. They most certainly did not want their children stolen, taken away for ten months of the year if they were lucky. Or to just never see them again and never hear what happened to them.
Thousands of those children died through poor treatment and worse, and lack of proper care. Thousands. In Christian-run residential schools..
