A gross injustice, truly Canada's shame. It is not shocking to see Handsome's reaction - people have been putting their heads in the sand on this forever. Many will not change.
It is important to read and accept because we cannot make the world better for indigenous people in our society today and tomorrow if we don't acknowledge and understand this. It is important for us to care about each other, what else is the point of a society if we don't do that much?
Disgusting attitude and actions by those involved with this over the past 100 years. It is a passive genocide, an effort to eradicate a way of life will have no other outcome than to eradicate the people themselves. I can't believe we accept this as ok.
We will never know what our society has lost by stamping out the contributions native culture.
