Obviously in a 2015 lens, we all know (myself included) that genocide is wrong. But basically, it blames us (modern Canadians) for mistakes that occurred long before I was even born, and before my parents were born.
I agree that it should be taught as a history lesson on cultural genocide. Much like how we teach WW2 and all the various points of view - purely factual and without bias.
But in terms of what we should do now perspective, it's absolutely ridiculous.

I don't think you know this history. Would you say the world view in 1883 is the same as in 1963? These practices are still poisoning the culture today
And you aren't speaking as a person in 1883 when you wished all the natives alive today had their great grandfather's and grandmothers "slaughteted"
