Quote: Gabrielle Scrimshaw (Wrtier)

 Writing about the governmental fostered destruction of  first nation peoples and culture inside Canada.

"Learning about our past won’t change it, but mandating indigenous history in our school systems is a good start. Without an honest dialogue and recognition of this history, we will hide behind a comfortable ignorance. My hope is that on July 1, Canadians who raise their flag high in celebration will also take a minute to reflect on the loss many have faced along the way."
