Totem – English 11 – Luka Piercey

In your opinion, based on the theme of this story, how has Canadian history and attitudes shaped the First People of Canada’s identity?

 

 

I feel like there are certain people who do not agree with First Nations and who aren’t polite to them which is wrong and I think people should be kind to whomever. The reality is that most people don’t think of you as First Nations or the color of your skin or your ethnic origin, they just think of them as a person or more preferably a Human Being. I don’t think it has shaped the identity of the first nation as much as people think it has. Canadians pay reparations towards the First Nations which isn’t a bad thing.  I think people are clinging heavily onto the past and we should leave the past alone and start a new. This is my opinion.
