Introduction
According to the history of residential schools in Canada they were being identified to be the main contributor to the current health status of the Indigenous people in Canada. The study also exposes the range of poorer mental, physical, general and emotional health outcome in both the residential school families as well as the attendees are compared with those without these experiences. Evidence suggest that the life span of these Indigenous people are minimum 15 years shorter than that of the other Canadian and suffers from high risk of certain chronic condition such as diabetes as well as the infectious diseases such as STIs.
Background
After the effect of colonization, the overall aspects of Indigenous Aboriginal people’s health as well as their well being started affecting not only their physical health, but also their spiritual, mental as well as emotional fitness. From certain evidence, the Indigenous population in Canada experiences the inappropriate significance of ill health than compared to that of the non-Indigenous population.
As stated by Wilk, Maltby and Cooke (2017), all these effects of health disparities are the result of the government policies to incorporate the Indigenous people into the Euro-Canadian ways of life that ultimately leads to harming physically and mentally the Indigenous group of children, loss of language and culture, lower educational attainment and disconnected the family structure. These populations therefore, suffers a lot from obtaining any kind of employment, which thereby affect their incoming source.
Most of the illness experienced by the Indigenous group of people includes diabetes, obesities and the cardio vascular diseases, which accredited to the lasting influence of colonialism, which thereby includes the reserve system, the residential schooling system and the Indian act. Among all the colonial policies adopted by the Canadian government, this residential schooling system proved to be the most harming and damaging the Indigenous group of people. The main purpose of the residential schooling system was to supress the language, the spiritual beliefs and the cultural traditions, values and principles of the Indigenous children in order to incorporate them into the Canadian society.
The main target of this specific schooling system is to civilize the Christianise Aboriginal children depriving the other sectional children. As stated by Elsom (2019), as being neglected and forcefully removed theses deprived children therefore suffers from psychological, emotional, sexual, spiritual abuses while attending the schools, which thereby experiences them to undergo the certain criminal activities, which in turn affect their morality rate, creates health problem, substance abuses and disintegration with their family as well as society.
Apart from this several residential schools were underfunded and due to this, they provide poor nutrition and lower living standard to the children which thereby cause illness and result in death. As mentioned by Joo-Castro and Emerson (2020), the concept of the “historical trauma” suggests that the effect and outcome of these historical disruptive events, which are collaborative are not only affecting the individual survivors but also is harming their families as well as their communities.
Basically, this historical trauma conceptualizes the transgenerational effect of the residential schooling system and on the other hand the traumatic events put a negative impact on the individual lives, which will result in the future problems for their descendants. The effect of residential schools for Indigenous people are not only found in Canada but these people experience poorer health in USA, Australia too as they also use the same key tool of assimilation.
In term of health, the TRC Action Health, the provincial, territorial and federal level of government acknowledges the consequences of the Canadian governmental policies and thereby are working on it together with the Aboriginal group of people by recognizing the gaps between the Indigenous and non- Indigenous communities in term of Health and educational policies.
Health Outcome
The various consequences of the residential schools are comprehensive, which has certain health outcomes that affect adversely the Aboriginal communities. The major health outcomes post traumatic disorders, mental health issues, cultural effects such as the change in the spiritual beliefs, depreciations of traditional knowledge and languages, social effects, which included the violence, effect on gender role, violence, suiciding, child rearing and trafficking and many more.
The Aboriginal and Torres islander people are often regarded as underclass and deprived people as they lack employment, lower income level, blackish culture and poor cultural development. These people lack employments as proper deserving facilities are not provided to upgrade themselves in order to cope up with the Canadian culture. The woman here had to work hard to earn something to provide some food and other necessities to their children.
The Canadian often hired these types of deprived Aboriginal and Torres Islanders in order to make them do the over loaded works such as the work of labour, servants, domestic maids, prostitutions with a very minimal salary. Even the children here are also socially abused by the non-Indigenous groups. As a result of low income, the people belonging to these groups fail to provide a proper living standard to their families and as a result they commit suicide.
As stated by McKinstry (2020), the children belonging to the Indigenous group faces the oral health diseases such as dental caries, gum infections, glossitis, bacterial infections, oral thrush, tongue carcinoma as of poor oral hygiene, immune deficiencies, tobacco abuse and nutritional deficiencies. As stated by Jacklin et al. (2017), apart from these oral infections, the Aboriginal groups experiences various physical health illness includes the chronic back pain, arthritis, glaucoma, osteoporosis, cataracts, several infectious allergies, emphysema, liver disease, high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid, stomach and intestine problems,...
