How eurocentrism contributed to the assimilation of the indigenous peoples in Canada?
In the 19th century, the British who controlled Canada believed the natives were an inferior race that has to be forced to evolve according to European standards. They took native children from families and forced them to adapt to the British culture in Canada. The natives were also forced off their land into reservations where they were forced to learn english and adopt Christian religion. The euro centrism of the British made them act as if they were helping improve a primitive race, whereas they were in fact destroying their traditional culture, lifestyle, language and religion.
