1920-27: Indian Act
Read Thomas King's "I'm Not the Indian You Had In Mind". View documentary REEL INJUN to see how Hollywood's depiction of Indigenous helped create enduring and damaging stereotypes.
Read about Duncan Campbell Scott, RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS, and his plan to "get rid of the Indian problem. I do not think as a matter of fact, that the country ought to continuously protect a class of people who are able to stand alone . . . Our objective is to continue until there is not a single Indian in Canada that has not been absorbed into the body politic and there is no Indian question, and no Indian Department, that is the whole object of this Bill." Take a virtual tour of a residential school. |
