    Study Notes

    • Many were housed in repurposed residential schools and military barracks.
    • They lacked basic amenities like laundry and kitchen facilities.
    • Tuberculosis was prevalent among Indigenous populations, highlighting the inadequate healthcare conditions which led to higher mortality rates.
    • Patients were often transferred to southern locations for treatment, further disrupting their home communities.
    • Similar to Residential Schools, "Indian Hospitals" were used for assimilation purposes, replacing Indigenous healing practices with Western biomedicine.
