They were converted to Christianity. British people even set up residential schools to ease their assimilation.
The residential school system was a disaster and ineffective, around 50% of the Indigenous people are atheist, and roughly 26% are Catholic, those are the Métis (those Indigenous women married French men under the Catholic Church). Only the Métis are actually assimilated, and that's partly because the French-Canadians preferred the assimilation model, in political terms, conquest by marriage. In contrast, the British were a fan of apartheid systems, every place they settled had this system.
It's also hard to find this data because Census Canada considers Indigenous peoples not a visible minority (I don't get it).
The residential school system was not even used in Latin America. I'm not really sure what on Earth the Canadian clergy were doing. Evangelization in Latin America was primarily through interculturalism, that was basically evangelizing the Indigenous families and assimilating Indigenous peoples into Christian culture, and this was state sponsored by the Spanish Empire. That's how you get native Incans to dress in pants, dress shirts, and leather shoes, and start praying in Latin. That, and intermarriage with the Europeans, over 60% of Incans today are mixed-Europeans.
What happened with Canada was that the Indigenous children were literally forcibly separated from their families and put into residential schools. That's just terrible no matter how anyone spins it. And then, they were put into Indian reserves, effectively cutting them off from European society. There was no Christianization. The British for the most part were terrible at Christianization, and worse at assimilation.
The British preferred apartheid systems, that's why Canada today is a segregated racialized clusterfuck, couldn't be bothered to assimilate people, just put them in boxes. The Indian status card is literally the most racist system on Earth, imagine you get tax exemptions because you have Pocahontas blood, and then you get special reserves to yourself cause your ancestors talked to trees, and you get scholarships and free tuition because your Indigenous ancestors couldn't even invent the wheel. What on Earth?
I mean just take a look at India, the British were there, but of course no sane English man would want to reproduce with Indians (J.D. Vance is not normal), so they lived in their British enclaves. Same thing happening in Canada, except on reverse, the Indians come here en mass, and we have to tolerate them, but really most of us don't find them attractive, and we'd rather not live around them.
It's one of the reasons why I hate tolerance and diversity, like segregate people by culture and race, and then pretend to like each other. Just don't bring them in the first place! This is such a WASP-y (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) thing to do. And of course the WASP did this with the Blacks too, brought them over the Atlantic Ocean, they should have just stayed in Africa.
Bring in 800,000 Indians in less then four months even though everyone with a working brain knows that they can't assimilate because they're Hindus and Sikhs, and we don't actually find them attractive, and then we have to pretend to like them because tolerance. How about just don't bring them in, in the first place? Classic White Anglo-Saxon Protestant/British retarded-ness at play here.
And of course the WASP idiots are the biggest supporters of Israel and totally bought off by the Jews. I can't.
