From the Paper:

"There is little wonder that there are animosities between the two groups(Thomson, 2005). One of the attempts being made to integrate the two cultures is through the use of education(Thomson, 2005). Through education the playing field can be leveled on both sides(Thomson, 2005). The non indigenous will learn about the indigenous groups and be able to better understand the cultures and traditions of that group while the indigenous will be better equipped to deal with the modern world and all that it entails(Thomson, 2005)."
