Precisely. Additionally, that culture been persecuted towards the verge of extinction.
It is part of the complexity of understanding cultural legacy and its impacts.
The cultural amnesia First Nations communities experience from residential schools and cultural homilies is tragic.
It also exemplifies & amplifies how horrific the realization that black Americans contemplate upon realization that they have variable skin complexions because their ancestors originated on in different areas of a different continent and were sexually assaulted by white slave owner/ancestors who sold off their own “illegitimate” children on slave markets.
