Indigenous children forced to pray to god in a residential school ran by the Canadian government and Catholic Church
This photo was taken at the Bishop Horden Memorial School aka Moose Factory Indian Residential School on Moose Factory Island, Ontario at the southern end of James Bay.
It was operated from 1906 to 1976 by the Anglican Church as part of the network of Indian Residential Schools.
Acts like these were common; children were forced to worship in the manner of whatever church was running them. Non-compliance resulted in beatings.
Canadians are finally realizing the cultural genocide that occurred at these “schools “.
