<<Resistance and Residential Schools.
Residential schools were government-sponsored religious schools
that many Indigenous children were forced to attend. They were
established to assimilate Indigenous children into Euro-Canadian
culture. Indigenous parents and children did not simply accept the
residential-school system. Indigenous peoples fought against and
engaged with the state, schools and other key players in the system.
For the duration of the residential-school era, parents acted in the
best interests of their children and communities. The children responded
in ways that would allow them to survive. Children responded to being
removed from their families and institutionalized at residential schools
in several different ways. Many resisted by simply being children:
despite facing austere conditions, a number of them remained playful,
sometimes making their school supervisors the centres of their jokes.
Some students gave their supervisors and teachers unsavoury nicknames in
the Indigenous languages of their communities. Former student Augie
Merasty recalls that during the late 1930s at St. Therese Residential
School (also known as Guy Indian Residential School), in Saskatchewan,
<as usual, we were forever conjuring up something dangerous or harmful
on the platform where she [the Nun] always sat on her chair with her
ever-watchful eyes
We stuck the tacks through her carpet cushion with
the points up to make sure at least some would penetrate as she set her
heavy butt on the chair.> Other forms of misbehaviour such as
vandalism, breaking the rules and starting food fights were common.
Petty crime was a concern for school administrators, but children also
engaged in more serious offences, such as arson. Some students thought
acting in this way would prompt the principal to expel them from the
school, meaning they would be sent home to their families.
Friendship as Resistance
When they arrived at residential school, Indigenous children were
often segregated first by religious denomination, then by gender and
by age. Because of this, siblings were often separated from one another.
Having been removed from their homes and families, they found
institutional life extremely lonely. But many children made strong
friendships with others in residential school. Older children protected
younger ones; they counselled young girls about their first periods and
stole food to make sure no one went to sleep hungry.>>
