| #10 My friend was in one of those shit canadian indian schools. The beating he had as a child, I'm surprised he didn't hunt them down. Rightfully so. |

| #9 @ James The only thing I can find is from 1943-1970 and some 9,000 children died in these homes. Some 15% mortality rate. |

| #8 The entire Western Hemisphere is a mass grave for indigenous children going back to Day 1. Most of their stories will remain unknown. |

| #5 The foster care system is almost as bad as the abusive parents in many places. Our adopted son has some pretty bad stories of them. It's the world's largest child trafficking system. |

| #3 ^So (approx) 1/150. OK, maybe the institutions in question were badly run (though I'd assume priests & nuns did the best with that they were given) - but that's hardly a deliberate genocide. In fact, even today: Children in foster care 42% more likely to die than children in general population |

| #2 150,000. Most forcibly taken from their homes to wipe out native culture by force assimilating them into western society. Unfortunately, this isn't unique to Canada. Happened all up and down North and South America from 1600-1970. |

| #1 Just a second - how can such a thing be? How many children were in these institutions? |
