The assimilation of aboriginals into the western culture is seen as one of the most colonial events in human history, and the legacy it’s left behind has left a people robbed of both tangible and intangible features of aboriginal culture. During this time, young aboriginal children were taken from homes and placed in overnight schools, where they would be stripped of their religion

Colonialism, Aboriginal peoples, and racism in Canada In this research paper, I will be explaining how western colonialism and racism destroyed the reputation of aboriginal peoples in Canada.
