various means. Some examples would be Christianization. Some of the acts of Christianization included Indigenous people not being allowed to use their own language, or forbidding to participate in their own cultural activities as well as to refrain from customs and beliefs. Rights and rituals of individuals are no longer accepted. Expectations of specific behaviour, were placed on indigenous individuals, even though this is not what they know, or believe. These social expectations slowly…

Unfortunately the statistics in this domain too paint a grim picture. Results indicate that ‘Indigenous Australians have considerably lower numeracy and literacy levels than the non-Indigenous population, significantly higher school absenteeism rates, and lower school completion outcomes’ (Bandias et al., 2013, cited in Cuervo et al., 2015, p.8). Additionally, the situation in regional and remote communities is even worse. On the one hand there is a general decline in the quality of education in…

In the interview with Amanda Swimmer she comments on how her people are less and less concerned with community, or as the pan Indian values handout states, “group emphasis rather than individual emphasis. In the first of Swimmer’s two interviews she comments, “And people don’t love each other like they used to way back. They used to help each other… they’d go out and help this person’s that’s got sick… they don’t (know) who’s sick and who’s dying.” She does not seem to have much hope that the…

hidden un-translated Native American languages such as Cree, Blackfoot and Makah. Even inside jokes directed at a native American audience. Jarmusch comments of this effect: “I didn't want it subtitled. I wanted it to be a little gift for those people who understand the language. … Makah was incredibly difficult; Gary [Farmer] had to learn it phonetically and read it off big cards. Even the Makah people had trouble, because it's a really complicated language.” (Pavel 2008 p…

India Aryan people, who speak the Aryan language, are presently found in the India subcontinent that hosts India, Nepal and the Pakistan nations. The Aryan languages existence in this region has a long history of over 3000 years with records of these languages having been spoken in the subcontinent around 1000 BCE (Bryant and Laurie, 6). However, according to the Aryan migration theory, which was introduced in the 18th century, the people of Aryan languages had migrated from Europe continent and…

(Crosby 490) This domesticated, pseudo-Indian is therefore not what the First Nation community and culture are truly about, but a fictitious, romanticized interpretation; an illusory view of the indigenous. Through Crosby’s anthropology course, Crosby discovered how much more the professor knows about indigenous people, ceremonies, ritual and moral than herself who is of Haida/ Tsimshian decent. The eugenic during the first half of the 21st century ranked races and classes as superior, providing…

largely continued to last all the way until present times. Europe 's rise to power had a very large, primarily negative effect on different peoples all throughout the world, and much of the Europe 's justification for their imperialism was the type of language and ideas synonymous with The Enlightenment. The rise of…

starvation, massacres, and slavery. But the genocide of Indigenous groups didn’t stop there; in fact it continues to this day. Indigenous children are removed from their families and placed into the foster care system at a much higher rate than any other ethnic group. Most of the time the children are not placed with other Indigenous families and are instead placed into white middle class families. By placing Indigenous children into foster care the Indigenous population…
