The indigenous people of the planet have already established their own unique religious cultures and ways. Although The influence of the field like Christianity, education, and social technological changes are the factors for the disappearance of their religious practices and rituals. (Higaunon)

Culture

Indigenous peoples in Canada have faced numerous challenges and made significant contributions throughout history. Residential schools, where many Indigenous children were sent, were marked by negative experiences, including being forced into labor and formal dress codes.
