Answer:

During the 1800s and 1900s, residential schools were established by the Canadian government in order to assimilate indigenous children into European culture. These schools were run by churches and the government, and children were taken from their families and forced to attend. They were forbidden from speaking their native language or practicing their culture. The children were often subjected to physical and emotional abuse, and many suffered long-lasting trauma as a result. The novel "In the Marrow Thieves" depicts the experiences of indigenous children in these schools.

Step-by-step explanation:
