So here we go again. I read the comments and I am once again confronted with the fact that so many of us 'settlers' believe our own propaganda. Canadians love to believe we are helping. Helping to give an education, to take children away from bad places.  It was a government policy to kill the Indian in the child that began with John A MacDonald. The idea was to, by the 'rule of law' make people white. 
I would like to ask anyone how they would cope if their own children were taken from them and then to consider how we would be effected by having generations upon generation of children stolen from our families. The 60's scoop was just a continuation of this, except this time the provinces were given jurisdiction to take the children, change the birth certificates, hide the background and make people white. So were are talking about 8 generations. This is our countries genocide, our shame. Until we understand this and stop thinking about how we are 'helping' will stay stuck.
