Our junior high phys-ed teacher used to stop us from getting out of control by shouting "you're running around like a bunch of natives". And it wasn't a one off, it was his thing...and nobody thought anything of it.
That's the problem is kids need to be educated by people that care about Indigenous. If we're taught by people that despise them it makes our journey to treating them as equals with respect nearly impossible.
I'm there now, but I'm mad at how long it took.
