Cultural Assimilation

The imposition of a dominant way of life which intends to cease distinct legal, social, cultural, and religious ways of life. The purpose is to integrate all people into one way of life, which is the dominant social and cultural norm. In a Canadian context, cultural assimilation has been a process, through legislation and policy, to attempt to abolish Indigenous peoples’ distinct governments, cultures, and identities.
