These were kids who were placed in foster care, not kids in the residential school system. And again, if they'd lost their heritage they wouldn't now be considering themselves natives.
You are right, I was thinking of the kids in the residential school system. Although I don't think fostering the kids makes a lot of difference: they are still marked out as 'different' and not accepted by the community into which they were placed, nor do they have any kind of connection with their own community.
You are also trying to suggest they be compensated for the racism in society in the past, but that would require we compensate ALL natives who lived outside the reserves for yesterdyear's racism.
Really? Were 100% of the native children removed from their homes in the 60s?
