The main motive of Indian Residential schools was to assimilate the Indigenous
children into body politic, thus they wanted to carry out their wishes on them by
subjecting them to ruthless behaviour which even included malnutrition and severe
starvation to an extent that the children had to make latch keys from spoons and
knives so that they could satisfy their hunger.
