Indigenous Resistance and Racist Schooling on the Boarders of Empires

Indigenous Resistance and Racist Schooling on the Boarders of Empires by Michael Marker tells about the struggles that the indigenous people faced while trying to preserve their traditions in the late 1800s. During this time it was typical for parts of families to be located in Canada and others in America and these people didn’t really fit in in either place. Because of this their children were made to go to private schools, these schools were attributed with taking their culture away from. When it was realized that these schools were unfair the children were allowed to go to regular schools but once there were treated so poorly that they often chose to go back to the private schools. I think that it is wrong that these people were expected to shed their way of life to fit in with what others thought were right and I think it is great that they fought back the way that they did.
