Thanks for teaching me a lot about indigenous history in Canada. I am inspired to learn more. I just finished Chelsea Vowel’s book, Indigenous Writes and I’m currently reading the summary of the RCAP.

Why did they choose to use the word Aboriginal rather than Indigenous? I still don't understand this choice.

Modules 9, 10, 11 seemed a bit vague at times and could have used more specific examples to clarify points.
