Reaction to 'Indigenous resistance and racist schooling on the borders of empires: Coast Slish cultural survival'

The articles main issue revolves around the fact that non-indigenous, in this case non-Coast Salish people, are learning about these cultures, histories and populations from people that are not OF the culture. Because of this, the argument arises that this is unfair, because certain biases tend to surface by teachers not of the culture. The fact that I did not realize such a place existed goes to show that little knowledge is known on a broad scale of the Coast Salish people.
