Assimilating To Alleviate Problems For Canada's Native Peoples: Argument Against
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Since the Puritans first stepped foot onto North America, relations between indigenous peoples and the forceful newcomers have been strained to say the least. The problems of Canada's native peoples illustrate similar struggles faced by other indigenous North American populations whose primary objective is to maintain their heritage in the face of overwhelming cultural challenges. Clearly, the proposition that claims assimilation is the best strategy to alleviate the problem of Canada's native peoples is nothing more than a veiled attempt to infiltrate existing cultures so that they adequately blend with the rest of Canadian society. In short, to encourage assimilation would be to advocate the quest for control. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
