Assignment:

Eddy Robinson, an educator on indigenous issues, believes (see video below) that most Canadians

only have 5-10% of the whole story on the history of Indigenous Peoples in Canada, including the

vicious legacy of the residential school system and the intergeneration impacts that continue to this

day as a result of colonialism. How and why is it the case that non-indigenous Canadians are so

woefully lacking awareness of Indigenous issues in Canada? Discuss.

Assignment Requirements:

- Provide 2 pages of analysis double spaced or 1 page single spaced. Though this is not a

formal research paper, students should site references, including our readings, online news

sources etc. Students are not required to use outside references but may choose to do so.

- Students should watch the video below but also reflect on and draw from course content to

date.

Total assessment weight:

- is worth 5% or your final grade.

Assignment Due Date:

- The original due date was October 5th but since I posted this late I am leaving it as an open

deadline (to be submitted to the appropriate assignment folder on Moodle). In other words,

complete this assignment whenever you like between now and the end of the semester. I do

encourage you to complete it soon.

Please watch the following video and reflect on it in your response.
