Показать описание
In the mid to late 18th century, missionary schools were opened on Native American reservations in the U.S. The goal was to convert young people to Christianity and immerse them in Western culture. Native languages and culture were discouraged. Over decades, many grew up knowing little about their culture or languages. VOA's Jeff Swicord reports on one Tsimshian tribesman who has dedicated his life to keeping his native culture alive.
