Fellow Canadian here. Maybe someone can help me with this.

I understand the whole point of what the white man tried to do and accomplished with the natives - removing their culture, etc

what I don’t understand is how was it the sexual assault against children was all over the whole country in residential schools? In a regular public school every now and then you’ll hear about it once or twice. But I’m the residential school system the sexual assaults of children goes hand in hand whenever you hear the words “residential school”

what im trying to know is why was it rampant throughout the whole residential school system? There’s hundreds if not thousands of survivors who always talk about sexual abuse during their time there

Power, domination, humiliation and opportunity

This is what whites did to their ancestors when they were destroying their lives, so it makes sense for it to continue with kids.

i think power imbalances attract predators. then add racism, you get fetishization mixed with predation.
