I like to consider myself a fairly well-educated and "proud" Canadian, so when it was brought to my attention that there's a whole other side to the history of this country that I wasn't aware of, it stirred up a lot of resentment and anger. I'm not here to preach to anyone...merely to educate! The way I wished I had been educated years ago. The subject of Native Residential Schools has been kept a "dirty little secret" for far too long. I admit that I've been out of high school for many years, and am not familiar with the current curriculum taught today...but I know that I've never been told about this side of Canada's past, and I sincerely hope that things are changing today.
I know this isn't much, and hopefully someday I'll be able to do more to enlighten people about the truth of how our Indigenous people have been treated unfairly by our government...looked upon as "savages" who needed to be eliminated. But for now, this is the best I can do.Layout made by
