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.
