If you investigate you will find that the CURRENT Canadian Government released a report saying the CURRENT treatment of indigenous in Canada is an ongoing genocide. Specifically for the eradication of culture you mentioned.
Matters very little what people like yourself who are far away from any impacts want to call it, it's still happening.
- jbay808 5y agoThe term they use, which should also resolve this absurd definitional argument completely, is "cultural genocide".
- thedmstdmstdmst 5y agoYes good point.
- brailsafe 5y agoI don't think it's irrelevant. If the current population is on board with adopting a more equitable relationship with the other cultures bthat were here first, then that stands a better chance at succeeding.
- thedmstdmstdmst 5y agoWell just so you know the past populations were not necessarily more in love with the treatment of indigenous. Here is an editorial from 1888 about the first Prime Minister of Canada and his starvation of indigenous, doesn't necessarily seem to me that everyone was on board with the treatment back in 1888.[1] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1888_Editorial_cartoon_about_John_A._MacDonald,_Edgar_Dewdney,_and_starvation.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1888_Editorial_carto... Also a better chance of what succeeding? Do you know the history of Canada? The displacement of indigenous was the point of the policies.
