I am getting a lot of new information about society structures. The connections are clear, and can be identified with our Indigenous population in Canada. There is a lot of misinformation given in our school system and history.
I am struck and angered by the misinformation. It is so much harder to unlearn and relearn any behavior/thought process/belief system than it is to learn healthy ways of acting and thinking from the start!
It is so ingrained that it's hard to determine what is fact and what was said to justify actions taken. We "thank the land" and then continue on. It is as if someone stole all your money, gave you back $5 and then just says, "thank you" as acknowledgement that they stole your money - but they're not going to give it back. So. Much. To. Unlearn.
Discussion Decorum: Participants will treat each other with respect. When disagreeing or debating, focus comments on the facts and training content, not personalities. No personal attacks. Purposefully rude or derogatory language will not be tolerated.
