Bannir la culture autochtone
Le but ultime de la Loi sur les Indiens a toujours été l'assimilation des Peuples Autochtones en tant que nations distinctes dans la société majoritaire du Canada.

Éducation traditionnelle
L'idée selon laquelle la culture occidentale était supérieure et les Autochtones devaient être christianisés et civilisés est venue des préjugés des Européens ainsi que de leur refus d'apprécier les enseignements complexes et largement non écrits des communautés autochtones.

Assimilation agressive
L'élément central de cette politique était un système d'écoles industrielles où l'enseignement religieux et l'enseignement des métiers allaient aider les Autochtones à s'adapter aux exigences de la société occidentale.

Construire le système des pensionnats autochtones
L'un des historiens les plus importants sur les pensionnats, James R. Miller, estime qu'un grand nombre d'élèves autochtones étaient, dans les faits, éduqués dans les écoles de jour, bien que les pensionnats aient laissé les marques les plus douloureuses et durables sur les communautés autochtones.

« Jusqu'à ce qu'il n'y ait plus un seul Indien au Canada »
Pendant les 150 années du système de pensionnats autochtones, le Canada a connu 150 écoles et 150 000 élèves.
