From that same wiki article, you should be aware that they link to the American version of the Residential School system, which they point out was remarkably similar.
As such, since America had declared *war* on its aboriginal population before sending any survivors to reserves and residential schools, we still come out ahead, since during that same period (namely, the Indian wars in the post-civil war period) we were actually protecting said people - from aggression from other tribes as well as from the American Army.
So your soap box is looking kind of shaky from here.
