"Prime Minister John A. MacDonald... wrote in letters and documents... that they were doing this because if you educate savages they simply become savages who can read, but if you put them in a school where they can be taught by religious people and white people then you can take the Indian out of the child, that was the intention of the residential school.... After they closed down the residential schools, they still weren't finished with their policy of trying to get the Indian children away from their parents and that's when the sixties scoop began... [a] policy to put Indian children in white homes to take the Indian out of the child" - Birth of a Family
