Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the issue of the relation between education and the processes of assimilation and discrimination of Indigenous minorities (Indian and Inuit) in Canada. Particular emphasis is placed on reconstructing educational practices and the educational policy within the Canadian school system (especially destruction of the pupils' ethnic identity in residential schools). An attempt is made at examining the relationship between schooling, religion, socialisation, forced Christianisation, language policy, and the development of aboriginal minorities in Canada.
