Synthesis of Micheal Marker

            Indigenous resistance and racist schooling on the borders of empires: Coast Salish cultural survival by Michael Marker mainly interprets the separation of the indigenous people from their society or culture. This article majorly focused on education and its policies referring to schooling. The Coast Salish people did not want to conform to society or anyone else’s culture. Racism was also an issue brought up in the article about when they integrated into schools.

            In my opinion culture determines an individual. This article spoke on how culture was trying to be taken out of the indigenous people. Honestly, conformity is not good or bad in my eyes it just depends on the individual viewing the situation.
