This PDF document is a teacher’s guide called ‘100 years of loss: The Residential School System in Canada.’ Attendance was mandatory at residential schools for Aboriginal children and many were forcibly removed from their homes, their parents, their culture, and everything that they knew. The loss of culture, language, and knowledge that came from attending these residential schools impacted not only those children but it would impact generations to come. This resource contains six very thorough lessons that educators can use in their classrooms. There are multiple activities for each lesson and explorations for students to go through. One of the sections in this resource are transcripts from former residential school students in which they talk about their experiences and how it impacted their life.
