As someone who went to school in the 90's/2000's that legit almost brings tears to your eyes to know that we will probably see a much kinder, compassionate generation approaching our Indigenous population in the coming decades. Rather than the status quo of explaining everything away at best and hurling excessive racism at them at worst.

That's great that it's taught and the atrocities explain. "This is an incident that happened in our country and this is why it was wrong."
But I don't like it when it's treated like a white supremacy issue. It's a people issue. Indigenous people were/are crapped on everywhere in the world. An Africa, in Asia, in South America, everywhere. Not to mention China right now.
