Reply to comment by EdithDich in (Canada) House of Commons unanimously agrees to describe residential schools as genocide by EdithDich

Any elaboration on how they inspired?

Hitler was very open about being inspired by the US's Removal, Reservation, and Assimilation Eras of Indian polices for his own regime's approach to Jews and other "undesirables". So much so that Hitler and other Nazi leaders often referred to Jews, Poles, and Ukrainians as “Indians". The Canadian residential schools were based on a US model that tied into the reservation system.
