The Resistance
From: Resistance and Renewal
$0.54
People rarely comply fully and easily to the introduction of oppression. Native children also produced counter-cultures in their resistance to the oppressive system which was Kamloops Indian Residential School. This chapter highlights the sub-culture that emerged at the residential school as a result of the resistance. Children participated in organised stealing, quiet defiance, and verbal altercations with the authority.
