翻译一句话contribute to a changing national identity

问题描述:

翻译一句话contribute to a changing national identity
how did the interaction between the government and the aboriginal people contribute to a changing national identity during that time?求人翻译!他到底问的是对国家有什么影响 还是对国家的变化有什么影响 还是对国家的特征有什么影响?

changingnational identity 变化着的民族认同
我认为他想问interaction对changingnational identity有什么contribution(贡献作用啊等等)?民族认同的意思是?这个词不大好解释吧,像民族认同感之类的东西吧。
