Poor families that tried to help these kids. By far these Canadians were there to help a bad situation for these kids. I hope they are always appreciated and not forgoton for their good.  For many reserve kids, a lot of progress has not been made, and it's not Mainstream society's fault. There are huge cultural differences    and that part of reconciliation will take a very long time. Most urban Canadians think life is good in their subdivisions and everyone is the same, even if they came from another country.
