“Queen Victoria presided during some of the most brutal years of colonial history — when land was stolen the most, when things like the Indian Act were put into place.”
“The response was prompted by anger and frustration, as more people confront the grim truths of Canada’s residential school system and the country’s colonial legacy.”
So goes what is today a staple of society resulting from the discovery of deceased Indigenous children at former residential schools. Not that this is a post-modern social issue. Our society has been struggling with the treatment of Aboriginal Canadians for at least a century.
