The Canadian government recognized the critical obligation to the indigenous communities enshrined subduing and oppressing the members to abandon their traditional heritage. As the indigenous communities, the Indo-Americans encountered profound challenges mainly because of the institutional governance system that focused on marginalizing the community for their traditional beliefs and practices.
The institutionalization of the Indian Act intensified the government’s view of indigenous communities as foreigners in Canada whose identity is justified after the abandonment of traditional cultural practices. The advocacy for inequality fostered social injustice across the Canadian region and is a portrayal of the administration’s commitment to promoting discriminatory practices toward the indigenous community.
