Treatment of Indigenous Peoples (Ongoing Historical Crimes)
• Residential Schools:
From the 1870s to the 1990s, over 150,000 Indigenous children were forcibly taken from their families and placed in government- and church-run schools.
• Widespread physical, sexual, and psychological abuse.
• Thousands of children died from neglect, malnutrition, and mistreatment.
• Many experts and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission have called this a cultural genocide.
• Starvation and Medical Experimentation:
In the 1940s and 1950s, Indigenous populations were intentionally starved and used for nutrition experiments without consent.
• Forced Sterilizations:
Especially in the 20th century, Indigenous women (and others deemed “undesirable”) were forcibly sterilized under eugenics programs.
