Canada's attempts to assimilate First Nations peoples have been less violent and forceful than the attempts made by the United States. While both countries had policies of assimilation, the Canadian government relied more on the residential school system, which was aimed at assimilation through education, rather than forcibly removing Native American children from their families as was done in the United States. However, the residential school system was still harmful and traumatic for Indigenous children and communities.
