Residential schools
Please leave the residential school system description. The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) at https://nctr.ca/about/ describes it as "profound injustices inflicted on First Nations, Inuit and the Métis Nation by the forced removal of children to attend residential schools and the widespread abuse suffered in those schools." This was laid by the national Truth and Reconciliation Commission, "The TRC was established as part of a legal settlement, the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, between Survivors, the Government of Canada, the Assembly of First Nations and Inuit representatives, and the church bodies that had run residential schools. As part of that Agreement, the TRC was mandated to inform all Canadians about the residential school system and its legacy." This isn't opinion. It is the findings of a commission, which is also described by the government here: https://www.rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/1450124405592/1529106060525. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Westendgirl (talk • contribs) 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Please remember to sign your talk page posts and to format references properly if you can. Thanks. I have altered the passage to make it closer to the wording of the source, and created an article about the school. Pam  D  21:16, 15 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I thought signing was automated now but I was mistaken! Westendgirl (talk) 04:27, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
 * It is in some circumstances, not elsewhere. Very confusing, especially when editing on a phone! Pam  D  05:43, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
