Synopsis From the time of initial contact, European settlers and the governments that they created in Canada viewed Aboriginal people as savages - uncultured, uncivilized, and backward. It was believed that Aboriginal culture was immature compared to European culture, and that to wait for these cultures to mature naturally would have devastating effects upon the people. The Government of Canada believed it was necessary for Aboriginal people to beome contributing citizens within mainstream Canadian society and its economy. While Aboriginal lifestyles were believed to prevent this from happening, education was believed to be the solution. The Residential School System was conceived, and thus began the bleakest era in Canadian Aboriginal history.
