One of the most regretted and influential events of Canada’s past were the residential schools. These schools segregated young aboriginal children from their culture, and due to these events, aboriginal communities are continuing to suffer through the pain they have experienced. The actions perpetrated by the Canadian government, during the late 1800’s to 1996, lost the trust of the Aboriginal culture due to their experiences within the residential schools. Unfortunately, the Federal government had tried to assimilate the aboriginal culture, and in some ways they achieved their goal, but in reality it left a culture fragmented and struggling to reconstruct their community.

Racism, one out of five Australians experience it everyday (All together now 2014). And it has brought varying effects to people in Australia, especially the Indigenous Australians. Racism has given them the wrong identity of being violent, unhealthy, sickly, poor and uneducated; it is just traumatic, when in fact all of these happened because of their exposure to racism (Creative Spirits 2013).
