Dr. Adrian De Leon puts so perfectly what has been inescapable in the recent media coverage (and, unfortunately, much of the academic and policy discourse, too).

Moreover, as a historian of residential schooling, he is wrong to suggest the wrongs were because of "big, overpowering governments." In fact, Macdonald's government in the 1880s was comparably small but determined to create genocidal policies to facilitate settler capitalism.
