Until what time were Aboriginal children placed in residential schools?

  1. 1980s

  2. 1970s

  3. 1950s

  4. Early 1900s

The correct answer is: 1980s

Residential schools were a part of the Canadian government's assimilation policies towards Indigenous peoples. The last residential school, Gordon Indian Residential School, did not close until 1996. However, it wasn't until the 1980s that the Canadian government began to acknowledge and address the long-term effects of residential schools on Indigenous communities. While some residential schools closed earlier, the majority of them were still in operation until the 1980s, making option A the correct answer. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as residential schools were still in operation during these time periods.
