In your opinion, based on the theme of this story, how has Canadian history and attitudes shaped the First People of Canada’s identity?
The fact they took their land, and then proceeded to kill a lot of them while trying to destroy their culture is completely immoral. The F.N people today still show effects and those effects are the result of the behavior by the Canadian government and people. The Canadian government is now taking steps to resolve and bring closure to them. But it will never be enough, since the first nations are still having their kids taken away by social services due to the fact they do not know how to raise their kid, because they were never taught because of the residential schools. Many suffer addictions due to ptsd as well. Their attitude to the Canadian to the government is filled with hurt, malice and anger, for all the things the government has done to them, and all the things the government is now trying to resolve will never be enough to compensate for all their wrong doing.
