Description
"This report is based upon information from the archives of the federal departments of Northern Affairs and National Resources, and Health and Welfare Canada,the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Hudson’s Bay Company, and the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches. The research also includes interviews with former students, missionaries and government bureaucrats. The spread of sickness and disease, such as tuberculosis, in the residential schools is not discussed here, but many Inuit students were taken away from the schools to different hospitals across southern Canada.

Ce rapport est fondé sur des renseignements puisés dansles archives du ministère du Nord canadien et des Ressources nationales, de Santé et Bien-être social Canada,de la Gendarmerie royale du Canada, de la Compagnie de la Baie d’Hudson et des Églises anglicane et catholique romaine. La recherche comprend aussi des entrevues avec d’anciens étudiants, missionnaires et bureaucrates du gouvernement. Ce document ne traite pas de la propagationde maladies comme la tuberculose dans les pensionnats même si de nombreux écoliers inuits en ont été retirés pourêtre admis dans différents hôpitaux du sud du Canada"--Introduction.
