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.

Eye opening, turns the narrative I was taught in school on its head and opens up an entire new understanding of Canada's poor relationship with the indigenous people.
