I'd be willing to be that at the time any orphanage or boarding school at the time would have similar problems.
There were so-called British "Home Children" orphans sent over to Canada to work housed at private homes. There are many stories how they suffered the same fate. Even in my province an orphanage of local children one of the typical heritage British/Irish/Scottish/French, they also suffered terrible abuse.
There's no prize for who suffered most. The problem is First Nations children are from a minority with few of their own people remaining the abuse suffered amplifies the tragedy along with losing their culture.
