Native identity. Settler colonialism uses various tools and methods of assimilation to sever important indigenous relationships to traditional native lands and to social relationships within their kinship and family.

(Denison et al., 2014). If a nurse carried a belief that all Aboriginal mothers are not capable of being good mothers, the reluctance of the mothers wanting to stay in the hospital could solidify this stereotype in the nurse’s mind. These stereotypes are a result of the oppression of indigenous peoples through colonialism and the residential school system.

Preparation to Teach – Identity, Culture and Stereotypes Indigenous Australians have been educating their children for thousands of years. Since ancient times, young Indigenous Australians have been raised with a sense of purpose; their talents observed and nurtured by knowledgeable adult and peer mentors (Price, 2012).

The ethnography Never in Anger: Portrait of an Eskimo Family, by Jean Briggs took place between June 1963 to March 1965. She spent 17 month living on a remote artic shoreline staying as an adopted daughter of an Utku family to study their lives, focusing on mostly their way of training children, and their handling of deviations from desired behavior.
