- Title
Isoler et embrigader. Le tendance coercitive des politiques d'éducation pour enfants autochtones (1870-1932).

- Abstract
The schools conducted for Aboriginal children by the federal government and the major Christian churches between 1870 and 1932 bore little resemblance to those provided for other Canadians by the provinces. The peculiar partnership of Church and State and prevailing negative views of Native culture meant that education on reserves remained isolated from conventional professional practice, was distinctively evangelical in character, employed coercive methods, was poorly supervised and proved resistant to change. It was part of the legal and institutional apparatus devised to assert authority over Aboriginal communities.
