Totem

I think at first Canadian settlers weren’t accepting of the First Nations in Canada and tried to assimilate them. Because of this many First Nations became ashamed of their identity and hid their culture from the rest of the world. Nowadays First Nations culture is more celebrated by Canadians and First Nations are more confident with their identity. Some First Nations people still feel the ‘burden’ of being native but this isn’t the case for all First Nations. Many First Nations peoples are now identifying with their native roots more recently, this also means that more Canadians are more accepting of First Nations culture and now include FN culture in Canadian identity
