21 things you may not know about the Indian act (ii鈥 taa鈥檖oh鈥檛o鈥檖 Indigenous 草莓污视频导航)

Overview

This interactive learning workshop addresses the history of the Indian Act of 1876. The Indian Act, from the beginning, was envisioned as the tool that the Canadian Federal Government needed to solve the 鈥淚ndian Problem鈥 forever - extermination of the cultures by assimilation. This was the main objective. The Indian Act was an act of segregation, subjugation, and control of First Nations people. Early renditions of the Indian Act introduced several laws limiting freedom, prohibiting First Nations cultural expression, and denying basic levels of sovereignty and self-determination.听

Learning outcomes:听

  1. Enhance awareness, understanding, and acknowledgement of truth telling.
  2. Enhance awareness and understanding of the history of Indigenous-Settler relations.
