The Fallen Feather - Kinetic Video

In 1920 Before a Parliamentary Committee Scott defended his decision to
forcibly remove Indian children from their families and place them into residential
schools saying,
“I want to get rid of the Indian problem…”
“Our objective is to continue until there is not a single Indian in Canada that has
not been absorbed into the body politic, and there is no Indian question, and no
Indian Department.” NC46 or Mental Health Profiles 6 + cited in Titley, 1986, p. 50
By 1930s the aggressive Indian policies first initiated by the Macdonald
government were alive and well. Superintendent Scott almost succeeded in
accomplishing the departmental primary goal, to do away with the Indian fact.
