They were pushed off their lands and marginalised. Later the government and Churches rounded up and shipped children off to residential schools. This single act was more destructive to First Nations culture than every other act. Children were forbidden to talk in their own language, forced to attend Christian churches, forced to abandon their own beliefs and culture. When they returned to their homes, they were strangers, adrift between native culture and western culture, not fitting in either. The damage is still evident.

Who was affected by the immagration act of 1924?

In 1921, Congress enacted a law limiting annual immigration to the US to 350,000 people per year. Each year, European nations could send to the US a number equal to 3 percent of its nationals who were in the US in the year 1910. In 1924, Congress amended the immigration law and reduced the number of immigrants to 150,000, and the quota to 2 percent, and the base year to 1890. This law favored immigration from nations like Great Britain, but discriminated against central and eastern European nations like Poland, Russia and Syria.
