After the discovery of the bodies of 215 indigenous children at an old residential school site, I decided that I needed to delve back into the indigenous relations and reconciliation information. This one is written by the same author as 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act that I read earlier this year, and follows well in that conversation.
In typical white privilege fashion, I have to stop myself from arguing with some of the points he makes because there really is no defence for what has been done to the indigenous people in Canada. I don't have to have answers on how to fix it, but I do need to acknowledge that and make sure that I don't perpetuate any of it.
I'm not going to review this in any form. I'm really not qualified for that. But I do recommend anyone read this in order to gain some perspective on Indigenous Relations in Canada. We're getting better, but there's still a long way to go.
