Inuit Children Taken from Families 1950s

Dubbed the Inuit Experiment, the Danish Government took children from their families in Greenland to mainland Denmark to immerse them in a re-education programme, robbing them of their language and culture in order to make them into 'model Danish citizens'.

Article and video here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-33060450

BBC Radio 4 Witness 

Save the Children Denmark apologised in 2009
"They (Danish government) wanted to create role models so that they could return to Greenland and move that society on. That was the political thinking behind the project. And Save the Children were asked by the Danish state to help - which unfortunately we did."
