Truth And Reconciliation Commission Of Canada

In 1996, the last resident school closed down. This suggests that resident schools were in operation prior to this date but were eventually phased out.

The correct answer is "All of the Above" because all three statements mentioned in the options contribute to the reference of this as part of the Canadian Holocaust. The genocidal mortality rates in residential schools, the discovery of mass graves of native children all over the country, and the fact that all of the above are true collectively highlight the horrific nature of the Canadian Holocaust.

The residential school system in Canada was created with the intention of assimilating the children of Aboriginal peoples into European-Canadian society. It aimed to eradicate indigenous culture and traditions by forcing children to adopt European customs and beliefs, including Christianity. The goal was to eliminate indigenous identity and create a homogeneous society based on European values and norms.

The TRC (Truth and Reconciliation Commission) was established in 2008.

In 2008, the Canadian government apologized for their role in the IRSs (Indian Residential Schools). This apology was a significant step towards acknowledging and addressing the historical injustices and cultural genocide inflicted upon Indigenous peoples in Canada. The government's apology aimed to recognize the immense harm caused by the IRSs and to begin the process of reconciliation with Indigenous communities.
