    Indigenous people in Canada faced widespread oppression and discrimination through colonization efforts such as the Indian Act and residential schools. The Indian Act took away Indigenous land and rights, forced people onto reserves, and criminalized cultural practices. Residential schools separated children from their families and communities, leading to loss of culture and language as well as high rates of abuse, suicide, and intergenerational trauma. Over time, these policies damaged Indigenous identities, families, and nations.
