Indigenous resistance

The article talked about how the aboriginal people were treated unfairly and forced to change their way of life. They were pushed off of their land by the whites and forced to live in certain areas as so that the whites would concentrate them in small areas using the rest of the land for themselves. The natives were also put into schools in order to "civilize" them and make them more alike to the whites. The schools were to draw the natives from their native tongue and way of life. This was slowly making the original way of life for the natives a thing of the past that would forgotten and no longer used.
