Indigenous Peoples Venn Diagram

After having studied different origins of indigenous people and the racist persecution they had to face, I was left completely appalled. The Canadian and Australian Aboriginal people, the Ainu and the people of the Gururumba tribe all have faced the common hardships due to the majority of society's views on conformity.  The Canadian and Australian Aboriginal people were forced into displacement, violence, racism, and many other inflictions upon their human rights.  The Ainu people faced similar, unacceptable treatment.  Although the Gururumba tribe did not have to face violence, they did have to fight for their freedom against conventionality when they were approached by several trade industries; ultimately, the clans became scarce as their land was taken over by large industries and their agricultural routines were jeopardized.  I seriously hope that one day people will be educated and selfless enough to prevent this from happening to whatever areas of the world in which indigenous people live and have not been corrupted.
