i'm thinking this song could be about the plight of the native people (in Canada at least).
1st verse: residential schools - white people came in and forced natives into reservations and residential schools where they were taught to forget their 'evil' traditional ways and adopt christianity and european lifestyles
2nd verse - how the native people have unfortunately become a people of destitution
3rd verse - the strength of the people from coast to coast, and the now rampant drug/alcohol abuse that ravages native reserves
