Not plural. There was ONE residential school open past the 60s... and again, it was run by the church. Funded by the government, but operated by the church. All the abuse is on the part of the church. Yes, the government turned a blind eye to it and is culpable for that reason. But they werent sitting there telling the priests "Hey, your molestation numbers are a little lacking this quarter. Better pump up those numbers or you arent getting paid this month!"

Tell me exactly how indigenous are being oppressed by the government today? I assume you meant "cultural genocide" by your last sentence, since claiming that what happened with the indigenous was actual genocide would be a pretty dumb thing to assert. Those two things aren't interchangeable.
