The information which follows is relevant but rarely provided in any of the Globe's articles on residential schools: of the aboriginal children enrolled in school in 1941, 50% were in residential schools, with the remainder in day schools. By 1964, the percentage in residential schools had fallen to 13%. By 1987 there were only two residential schools still in operation. Both were operated by aboriginal bands.
Put another way, no aboriginal in Canada today under 30 will have attended a residential school run by the settlers from Europe; less than 13% of those between 31 and 51 would have attended such a school.
