    Intergenerational Trauma and Residential Schools

    Historical trauma occurs when trauma caused by historical oppression is passed down through generations. For more than 100 years, the Canadian government supported residential school programs that isolated Indigenous children from their families and communities (see Residential Schools in Canada). Under the guise of educating and preparing Indigenous children for their participation in Canadian society, the federal government and other administrators of the residential school system committed what has since been described as an act of cultural genocide. As generations of students left these institutions, they returned to their home communities without the knowledge, skills or tools to cope in either world. The impacts of their institutionalization in residential school continue to be felt by subsequent generations. This is called intergenerational trauma. This is the full-length entry about Intergenerational Trauma and Residential Schools. For a plain-language summary, please see Intergenerational Trauma and Residential Schools (Plain-Language Summary).

    Laurentian Thesis

    The Laurentian thesis is an influential theory of Canadian history. It was developed by several historians in the early and middle decades of the 20th century. It posits that Canada’s development was a result of the economic exploitation of staple resources (e.g., fur, timber, wheat, etc.) by a merchant class living in the major centres along the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes. This system enabled the creation of both a transatlantic and a transcontinental market economy. The Laurentian thesis was a major influence on historians after the Second World War.
