The residential schools have been closed for thirty years,at what point do we stop laying the blame for every problem  aboriginal have on these schools, Not everyone attended residential schools, but that is never acknowledged. Reserves particularly in the western provinces have a problem with many of their children ending up in foster care. Farming the blame out to the past, doesn't do anything to solve a problem that is right in front of them. Governments can't solve a problem, that reserves refuse to acknowledge. A year ago both Perry Bellegarde and Murray Sinclair, stated that many reserves had a problem with sexual assault and violence against women and the young, and it was time reserves addressed these problems.  I guess no one heard them.
