	Sixties Scoop (Canadian history, 1951-mid 1980s)

Note: Event marked by the period of aggressive social policy towards First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities by the Canadian government. Beginning with an amendment to the Indian Act (1876) in 1951, social and family services were directed to apprehend Indigenous children and place them into foster care or directly with non-Indigenous families. These policies were meant to assimilate Indigenous communities into Canadian culture, ceasing in the mid-1980s after activism by fostered individuals and researchers. The effects of the Sixties Scoop are still felt in many First Nations, Inuit, and M%00etis communities, and are frequently explored in Indigenous film and art.
