'The commission ultimately determined that at least 3,200 children died while a student at a Residential School; one in every 50 students enrolled during the program’s nearly 120-year existence. That’s a death rate comparable to the number of Canadian POWs who died in the custody of Nazi Germany during the Second World War"
Last sentence is especially telling, plus the estimated number is actually half of what another institution says, and still definitely short of the real number. Your childlike ignorance isn't cute, it's disturbing. The RCMP was originally formed specifically to oppress the natives, and they've been persecuted systematically and overtly since. These are facts that just aren't taught in normal education streams but we can't pretend it didn't happen.
