Absolutely. Colonialism’s biggest goal was to homogenise according to the coloniser culture, by force, genocide, any means. It is intended to erase languages, traditions, and identity before installing their own, so the colonized are easy to control. Just look at how the US, Canada, Australia. New Zealand, and Hawai’i are considered fully white countries, despite white people being there for less than a hundredth of the time human activity has existed in those places.
