Response - Indigenous Resistance.


Indigenous Resistance
In the 1900’s, an Indian tribe lived on the United States/Canada border [divided by.] They had to travel across the border often because of many events, family, and etc. Many were sent to Canada to go to the traditional school – with racial discrimination running very rapidly. First, wow, it can’t even imagine, “racial discrimination.” Because of the racial discrimination, many Salish Indian students were traumatized.  The other ones were sent to America to boarding schools. The article kept me intrigued; it made me think outside of the box, being that I had heard of the Salish Indian, but never truly understood what they had to endure. From the article I believe that we should embrace different cultures! We are allowed to be “free, supposedly?” This is America! The Land of the FREE, but those were not free, and truly many of us till this day aren’t free.
