during this whole course i learnt a lot about first nations and how the topic of them going through all the
pain and abuse does not get talked about a lot. i learnt how to be more open minded about how
imporant culture and land are. This course allowed me to reflect on cultural positive and personal identity
because we learnt how and what the first nation people went through their struggles and sacrifices. i
learnt that they were manipulated into giving up their land in return of better thing and better land.
Before i got in this class i have always not thought this topic was a big deal but this class changed my
perspective and i learnt how the residential school treated the innocent children. when i found out they
also lied about them passing away and told the parents they were really sick but in reality they were
abused and beaten this made me think of what else there could be which we just never found out. i really
enjoyed learning about this subject and it gave me a way better understanding about the topic and how
serious it is
