Post Writing “Totem”

Canadian identity has been changed from first nations identity, to early Europeans who colonized the land. When people think of Canada, they think of hockey, maple syrup and snowy weather.

But just like in the book they kept sticking around like the totem pole in the corner of the room and like the dust eventually settled.
