The Infraction of Treaty Six in the Creation of Residential Schools

Convention 6 was created based on the needs of indigenous peoples and the Canadian government. The treaty was discussed and negotiated between the Canadian government and indigenous members. Indigenous peoples have different needs and wish to include them in the Convention; they will help the community develop into a community where hunter gathering can grow crops and meadows . They also want to help young people understand the new society.

One of the most pressing problems arising from the "treaty" process is the dark legacy of the residential school system. The aim of going to school in Canada is to educate, civilize or westernize indigenous peoples to adopt more Western-style, ie European style of life. It is considered that it is the only way to achieve indigenous people's "civilization" to separate children from their parents and to force them to believe in religion. The story on the theme of the Canadian Housing School and ongoing discussions are very controversial. Residential school experience continues to bother the Aboriginal people, some say this brings extensive indifference to the education of many indigenous young people today. Many of the people who have experienced "education" at boarding schools are now parents and grandparents and have a great bias against their children's education due to their experience.

This is the final report of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Committee, a six-year survey of youth's boarding school system and the heritage of these schools. This report is a summary of the history of residential schools, the heritage of the school system and the full text of 94 recommendations of the committee to tackle this heritage problem. This report reveals part of Canada's history, and until recently most non-native Canadians knew this. The Committee discussed the reasons and ways to develop policies and practices for ending the logic of Canadian territorial colonization and the existence of different societies in indigenous peoples.

Sections 2 through 6 of this article are following the relationship between indigenous people and new Canadian immigrants from the first encounter to the government apology in June 2008 and all former students of boarding schools in India . With this apology, the Canadian government expresses deep regret for individual students who suffered at these schools and their families. The government also recognizes the harm caused by housing schools and assimilation policies on indigenous culture, language, and heritage.
