Let's not forget that residential schools were government funded program where they worked with Catholic churches to execute their plan:

In Canada, the Indian residential school system was a network of mandatory boarding schools for Indigenous peoples. The network was funded by the Canadian government's Department of Indian Affairs and administered by Christian churches.

It's not only one side who is to blame, there were both evil and corrupt and should be facing huge backlash. But where is the protest towards Canadian government then??

What gets me is that an African and I believe, a Ukranian church was vandalized as well?

Those two churches have likely done nothing to hurt indigenous people.

But then again, whoever justifies doing this in their minds likely isn't the "rational" type of person.

As an Ojibwe, and I know other FN people have said this as well, for the love of fuck, stop vandalizing. It's not helping anything, and there are much better ways to show support.
