El 77.4% de la PEA [Población Económicamente Activa] nicaragüense se encuentra trabajando en pequeños negocios abiertos por su propia cuenta en el sector informal, la mayoría de ellos necesitan mano de obra familiar no remunerada para poder funcionar. De ahí, la necesidad de los hogares de echar mano de la fuerza de trabajo familiar que tiene disponible y que aún no tiene la edad para buscar un trabajo asalariado, tan necesario para complementar los ingresos del hogar. Es aquí donde surge el trabajo infantil que apoya los negocios de la familia, insertándose en actividades que contribuyen a que los negocios funcionen y generen ingresos. 1, record 1, Spanish, - mano%20de%20obra%20familiar%20no%20remunerada

Where the Spirit Lives(1989) is a drama film about Aboriginal children getting taken from their tribes to attend residential schools. The setting is in Canada. Ashto-omi is a young Aboriginal girl taken by an Indian Agent, Taggert. Her younger brother Pita and other children are also lured into the airplane using candy canes. The two newcomers are forcefully renamed with names associated with Christianity. Ashto-Komi's name is changed to Amelia(no. 61) while Pita's is changed to Abraham(no. 67). Kathleen Gwillemberry is a new teacher to the school. Ashto-Komi gets stripped and scrubbed. Her hair is cut and scrubbed. Her hair is cut short. The old native style clothing is gone and gets replaced with uniforms. The children get a small amount of food to eat and are forced to do prayers every morning to become Christians. Ashto-Komi talks her language and gets beaten by the teacher. She did not know they were forbidden to talk their native language. Gwillemberry says they are poor children that don’t know any English after teaching her new class. Reverend Buckely replies and says "The children are like a garden, in order to maintain the beautiful flowers you need to pull all the weeds out and cut them back.
