Indigenous resistance and racist schooling on the borders of empires: Coast Salish cultural survival

This article discusses the separation of indigenous people from their own society and culture. They were not allowed to speak their own language and practice their own religion and culture. Americans and Canadians tried to assimilate them so that they can be more educated. Marker describes the process of assimilation and how the children were separated from their family and culture and were for forced to go to boarding schools.

I believe it is important for people to be able to keep and practice their own culture in the way they wanted to. The world is a combination of different cultures and every culture is equally important. Every culture should be respected by others .
