Residential School Survivors and Descendants Scholarship

The Residential School Survivors and Descendants Scholarship was created by 49 Design to honor the victims of Residential and Boarding schools in Canada and the USA. Dozens of schools were set up in both countries by various churches and government entities with the mission to force assimilation upon First Nations and Native American children. Children were often not allowed to speak their Native language, and faced abuse and conditions that contemporaneously have been described as genocide, even by the Pope.
