Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
Acculturation is when a group adopts some of the cultural behaviors of another group (usually a dominant group), while assimilation is when one culture is entirely absorbed (and erased) into another.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
This was coined to explain the colonization process in which indigenous peoples own cultural distinctions were erased, suppressed, or simply un-acknowledged by their European colonizers.
