Curricular response
I chose the quotation “Chris Columbus gets credit for discovery” because when I was in middle school I was taught that Christopher Columbus did discover Canada, many people do still believe this. Indigenous people have been living here years before Christopher Columbus came. I chose the picture of someone with their fingers crossed behind there back to show the distrust that was built with Indigenous people because of the horrific things that were done to them.
Core Competency Self- Assessment
My background helped me choose my quotes and pictures. I am Cree and my family comes from Saskatchewan, Treaty Six. My mother is Cree and has taught me about Indigenous history my entire life, ever since I was young my mom would share with me what was done to Indigenous people. When doing the assignment I was able to use my previous knowledge to help me understand fully what the quotes are referring too.
