"I want to get rid of the Indian problem....
Our object is to continue until there is not a single Indian in Canada that has not been absorbed into the body politic and 
there is no Indian question, and no Indian Department."
—Duncan Campbell Scott, Deputy Superintendent of Indian Residential Schools
