The Indian Act: Racial Discrimination

The Indian Act

The first act is an act that determines who can and can not be a true Indian. It meant to control their affairs under the name of civilization, so the government considers them as savages who need to be controlled and civilized Well from my personal perspective I think that the act is based on racial discrimination because it encouraged the Indians to give up their Indian status and ironically the people who are affected by it are the people who actually own the land, the government must be thinking that taking their land is not enough so they need to decrease the number of The Indians step by step until they vanish. So the way to do that is by forcing them to give up their identity as Indians or otherwise they well be deprived

Slapped on the wrist, these kinds of abuse obviously will cause a confusing about how they are and surely they will hesitate to show their true identity thinking that there is something wrong with it, the residential school was trying to convert the Indians to Christianity by convincing them that their tradition is evil that dancing is evil singing is also evil ant it's an act of the devil so clearly they are trying to persuade them into hating their culture, tradition, and heritage. This is so wrong on so many levels, it's wrong to force only a group of people to sent their kids to residential school and control the way to teach their children and convince them to change their religion and force them to stay in residential school otherwise they will be put in

The condition of some residential school was horrible there were huge numbers of physical and sexual abuse.
So the teachers and administrators were assaulting the Indian student and they justify it by saying that it was an attempt to save their soul and civilize them, how could the government allow this to happen
