This image shows inclusivity because in the picture it looks like these indigenous people are getting stripped from their culture. When I looked at this picture I saw lots of people being taken away to residential schools and the longer they stayed the more they forgot everything they once loved. Colour in this picture is a huge thing and it stands for their religion, personality, happiness, and culture. On the right you can see them full of colour, happy, in their cultural outfits. It slowly fades as they lose their identities and culture, they lose their colour and happiness. Their facial expression change in gloomy and sad as it goes towards the right leaving behind their cheerful selves. When there is two ways to look at this picture. The first way is the one I explained which is looking at it from right to left. The other option is analyzing it from left to right. If you look at it from left to right then the picture says something different.  They start off seeming dull and then gradually begin to regain their culture, colour, and personalities back. Towards the right side they are standing tall, proud about their culture and on the left they are slouched, lost. When I look at this picture I feel sad and a bit mad about thinking what these indigenous had to go through and how they were forced to leave all the things and people they loved behind. All that just because they were different and weren’t the same, some people who forced them to go to these residential schools. In those schools they forget everything including their language, religion, and their ways. Even speaking a word in their language can get them hurt really badly. This picture reflects inclusivity for all the reasons I have listed and I hope that soon there will be no more excluding just for being different and being yourself.
