Bit of a downer holiday, recognizing the horrors of residential schools. But hey, it's a day off <_<

Basically it's where we put all the native children and "taught" them how to be more white. And beat them in order to make that happen. A lot of children did indeed die in them, though an official number has never been confirmed.

That doesn't make sense, the white way isn't beating kids - the white way is making money by doing nothing

It's not like there isn't precedent for holidays based on things that suck. Remembrance Day springs immediately to mind.

Oh definitely. Certainly a better justification than the random "Family Day" we made up just to get a day off in February

Worse things than just beatings happened in those schools. All kinds of psychological and sexual abuse happened in them, along with some very sadistic punishments for anything to do with their own cultures and terrible neglect.

Well, I figured psychological was implied by "teaching them to be white". The sexual abuse and neglect are worth noting though.
