Passage of the Jim crow laws
The Aborigines found themselves in a situation were they were systematically assimilated into a new culture without being able to do anything. The children where taken away from their parents, and they were raised by people that were of British descent or were educated in British based institutions. That led to the children learning only what their British parents and institutions were teaching them, thus not being able to preserve anything from the Aboriginal culture.
Also, there were forced marriages between the British settlers and the Aboriginal women with the purpose of ethnically wiping out the Aborigines in few generations. That was one of the worst methods that has been used for destroying indigenous people.
You didn't actually provide the link mentioned, but here's what I would say:
Constitutional officials of the Maine state government:
- Governor (head of the Executive Branch of state government)
- Secretary of State (a constitutional officer in state government)
- Attorney General (a constitutional officer in state government)
Maine is one of five states that don't have an office of Lieutenant Governor.
Maine does not have an official called the "State Comptroller." There is a statutory officer called the State Auditor, which is responsible for auditing the state's finances. There is also an Office of the State Controller ... but technically no office called "comptroller."
