Gordon's Indian Residential School

Gordon's Indian Residential School was part of a system in Canada where Indigenous children were removed from their communities and placed in government-funded schools aimed at assimilating them into Western culture. These schools often prohibited Indigenous languages and traditions, and many children experienced neglect, abuse, and loss of connection to their heritage. The intent was to erase Indigenous identities, which has led to long-lasting impacts on Indigenous communities. Recognized as part of a broader history of cultural suppression, the school’s legacy highlights the need for reconciliation and ongoing efforts to honor Indigenous rights and histories.
