Indigenous resistance and racist schooling on the borders of empires: Coast Salish cultural survival
The article "Indigenous resistance and racist schooling on the borders
of empires: Coast Salish cultural survival" by Michael Marker is about the Coast Salish people who live in British Columbia and Washington State. The Salish people are having to deal with unification or assimilation with the 'American' culture forced on them by the government. They governments of both the United States and of Canada are attempting to assimilate them into the school systems. The Salish did not want anything to do with the assimilation an wanted to keep there customs and traditions. With the Salish revolting against the assimilation the governments both failed in bringing down there culture.

food and sustainability of Valdese
Aside from relying on the world around it Valdese, NC would not be able to provide enough food for its residents or be able to sustain itself very long. When acting will the surrounding towns, county's, and states the town of Valdese is able to survive. Since there are no large farms or food processing facilities the town has to rely on imports into the local grocery stores and the several small restaurants in the town. Valdese used to be a place that was very sustainable, there used to be many large factories and now there are only a few, many have been outsourced. In the future I think that Valdese will not be able to sustain any small business and that many more of the jobs will be outsourced.
