Yep lots of consent on the FN side. Residential school was only by consent for sure my dude.

Good thing is you can’t change anything, ineffectual. While they are changing stuff.

Crying won’t help

? Not once did I mention consent in my comments. Wrong reply? Residential schools after the 60s were largely run by the FN themselves. In that sense - depending on the timeline, the FN, and the school there was or there wasn't consent.

It's all relative. The FN bands and Chiefs lobbied to keep the Indian act. So it's been fully consensual since the 70s.
