Native Canadians
A residential school in Canada during the war.
- During the war, Native Canadians weren't allowed to enlist before 1915.
- Recruiters hid their discrimination by claiming it was a concern for their welfare.
- The recruiters believed that enemies would see Natives as savages and mistreat them.
- During the time, the government also wanted to assimilate them into Mainstream Society by putting the children in to Residential Schools.
- The rest of their family lived in Indian Reservations where they were able to follow their traditional ways.
- The residential schools were usually very far away from the reserves.
