The "100-year experiment" of placing Aboriginal children in residential schools had a devastating impact on their cultural identity and tradition. Children were forced to assimilate into the Anglo-Saxon culture and were punished for speaking their native language or practicing their cultural traditions. This led to a loss of connection to their cultural roots, leading to generations of trauma and disconnection from their communities. There is no evidence to suggest that the experiment led to improvements in IQ scores, and while assimilation was a goal of the residential school system, it was not a positive impact on the Aboriginal people.
