LISTENING TO INDIGENOUS VOICES

"I want to get rid of the Indian problem....
Our object is to continue until there is not a single Indian in Canada that has not been absorbed into the body politic and there is no Indian question, and no Indian Department."
— Duncan Campbell Scott, Deputy Superintendent of Indian Residential Schools
