Yes it is. Almost all of these deaths were from plagues, which hit aboriginal children much harder than anyone else. They died at the same rate whether they attended a RS, a day school, or avoided school altogether. Tragic, but not the fault of RS.
I don't really want to defend RS. As you say, RS were yet another example of how government interference causes disasters. I just don't like the dishonesty and hate. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission was so dishonest. With similar dishonesty, the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women puts the blame on whites. These women are murdered by aboriginals or are kids fleeing aboriginal violence. Bands have done little to prevent this. Any honest report would state these facts.

And you certainly have a source for that other than your ass, am I right?
They blame the various governments for failure, but if you want to play victim just say that they blamed you specifically.
