Also, they would dump their human waste into the water and make it even more contaminated so when the people of Jamestown would drink or use the water it would make them ill and even to the point that they died. Within a couple of years they also faced drought which many people died because of starvation. The colony went to desperate measures by forcing the Indians to trade their grain, the Indians didn’t give up easy though as it says in the document ‘some harshe (harsh) and cruwell (cruel ) dealinge (dealings)by cutting of towe (two) of the salvages (Indians) heads and other extremities.” Another reason why the colonist died in the colony of early Jamestown was because of the skills they had. When the first ship arrived in Jamestown they brought over a total of 110 males in 1607. 47 of the men were gentlemen, back then, a gentlemen was a person of wealth who was not used to working with his hands.
Native Americans Cherie "Stacy" Martin HIS/145 July 30, 2012 Timothy Kreisher Native Americans In the early eighteenth century, the Indians were introduced to the Pilgrims. The Indians owned all the land and the white people (Americans) decided to take it from them. The white people decided that since the Indians were not white they needed to be treated differently. They were to have no contact with the white people and were to live in certain areas, which are called reservations. The white people decided that they wanted to take the land away from the Indians and formed a government against the Indians.
Many of the former students and their children and grandchildren sometimes go to jail, are in poverty, have lost their language and culture or have commit suicide. Aboriginals also have lower graduation rate that the national average. Many of the children and grandchildren have suffered abuse from their parents that went to these schools because the physical, mental, and sexual abuse that they suffered is passed down through their generations and many of them suicide because of this. Many of the aboriginals who attended the schools were missing or dead because of the tuberculosis infection that killed many of the children taking and living in the schools . According to the Canadian Institute of Child Health, in 2000 the suicide rate for first nations from the age of 0 to14 was double what the national suicide rate was.
The federal government began to phase out residential schools in the 1960s and by 1974 assumed full responsibility for the residential school system. They were either closed or turned over to Aboriginal bands to operate themselves. Most residential schools ceased to operate by the mid-1970s; the last federally operated residential school closed in 1996. A major reason for this was the fact that in the 1980s horrible stories began to emerge about what actually took place at some of these schools. It was discovered that some children were the victims of physical and sexual abuse.
The government now recognizes that the consequences of the Residential Schools were completely wrong and that this has had a lasting and damaging impact on Aboriginal culture, heritage and language. While some former students have spoken positively about their experiences at residential schools, these stories are far overshadowed by tragic accounts of the emotional, physical, sexual abuse, neglect of helpless children, and their separation from their families and communities. Unfortunately, many former students had died before hearing the much needed apology that would hardly compensate for the childhood that they lost. The residential schools have left most Aboriginal people resenting our culture and government. For good reason, most former students are left trying to cope with their emotional scares.
They may pass that experience onto their children, and their children's children and so on. Forgiveness will be very hard for these unfortunate individuals. I’m sure the First Nations peoples that were forced to attend these schools have lost all respect for the Europeans and their Government.

Teachers have been getting replaced left and right because of their inability to control the students in the classroom. Many parents are removing their children out of Augusta Schools in order for them to have a better chance of being successful. Also because Augusta is a failing school, teachers fresh out of college come teach at the school for a minimum of two years. After their two years are up most teachers would leave to go teach at a school of their choosing. On the other hand, replacing these teachers maybe was a good move made by the State Department.
At this point, Daisy fails to support her son, and under Cal’s influence Donny becomes more distance from his parents than he had ever been. Parenting goes far beyond providing food and safety. Donny was one of those kids whose parents were not accepting and not able to take responsibilities for their actions. Donny felt that his mother didn’t accept anything he did. As a result, his grades dropped, and Donny got expelled from school.
Isolated from their homes, punished for speaking in their own language children become distanced from their culture. As Reimer says, “… the residential school experience left students feeling alienated from their community, creating generation gaps. Prolonged and repeated periods of separation between parents and children living in different worlds resulted in an inability to communicate in terms of language, but more-so in terms of not being able to connect and relate to each other. “ This experiences resulted in loss of culture , identity , spirituality and nation; besides , or Aboriginal people it wasn’t an abrupt event, but continued in one form or another through centuries of intense pain and suffering, In conclusion, we can easily see from these few examples, just some of the negative effects of residential schools , not only on their students but on entire Aboriginal society . Tragically, the effects of residential schools and issues of the native community will take generation to
Discrimination against aboriginal people Data Base: Racism against aboriginal people * An era of abandoning the culture and replacing it with another occurred to Aboriginals, where Canadian government organizations took Aboriginal kids from their communities and cultured them in residential schools. * A lot of them were physically and sexually abused, and most returned to their communities as wrecked and needy individuals. * Aboriginals were not permitted to carry out their traditional rituals and practices which include: hunting, trapping, fishing, voting and etc. * The Indian Act was printed without effort from Aboriginal peoples since, it is a piece of Parliamentary legislation, and it may perhaps be revised without
