	African Nova Scotian History: Africville - relocation of its people was cultural genocide
		During the 1940s, with the full cooperation of its provincial counterparts, the federal government introduced into Nova Scotia's Mi'kmaq community a draconian management policy called "Centralization." It was envisioned by the policy's creators that its assimilative provisions would cure the province's "Indian problem" forever, by bringing about the extinction of the Mi'kmaq.
		From its founding, the community's residents, like their brothers and sisters in other African Nova Scotia communities, and likewise members of the Mi'kmaq community, were victimized by harsh racial oppression.
		When reviewing the city council's decision to "relocate," without their informed consent, Africville's residents and bulldoze their village into oblivion, this truism stands out: although probably well-meaning, it was carried out in a manner which assured that the unique characteristics of the African Nova Scotian culture which developed there was destroyed.
