And through that time, Indigenous children were taken from their homes, taken from their communities and forced into church-run residential schools where they suffered, in many cases, serious emotional, physical and sexual abuse, and in all cases, cultural abuse, as these schools were designed to eliminate Indigenous language and culture.
Y durante ese tiempo, niños indígenas fueron arrancados de sus hogares, separados de sus comunidades para llevarlos a internados dirigidos por la iglesia en los que sufrieron, en muchos casos, graves abusos emocionales, físicos e incluso sexuales, y siempre, abusos culturales, ya que el fin de los internados era eliminar las lenguas indígenas y su cultura.
