This discrimination reached its peak during World War II; using the war as an excuse, Canadians forced people of Japanese decent out of their homes, and they forced them

Regarding the assimilation of Aboriginals into Canadian society looking back and seeing the events which have occurred we can see that it was a destructive process for the Aboriginal people inhabiting Canada. Aboriginal children as late as the 1870’s were forcibly taken from their homes without the consent of their families and put in Canadian schools in an effort to integrate them and make them contributing members of society.

And through their contacts, the power, traditions, and history of the natives became nearly extinct. The nations of the aboriginals of Canada worsened in major aspects of their society

Residential Schools Background and Causes of the Event: In the 19th century, the Canadian Government believed it was responsible to educate and care for the aboriginal people in Canada. They thought their best chance to success was to learn English and adopt Christian and Canadian customs. They would then pass their new lifestyle on to their children, and the native traditions would eventually be forgotten. The result was the creation of residential schools.
