First Nations, Métis, & Inuit Culture 101 | Coty Zachariah

What do we mean when we say Aboriginal or Indigenous communities? What are pow-wows and smudging ceremonies? What role did history play in the current relationship we have with First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities? Joining me to discuss this, and much more is Coty Zachariah, Chairman of National Aboriginal Caucus for the Canadian Federation of Students.

[@jsnsjjjss]

[@karimahnaimah]

jazakAllah khair to everyone at Let the Quran Speak for these videos. I am a Native American Muslim and I really appreciated the dialog you have started and the acknowledgment of the issues in the indigenous communities of Canada.

[@denepride2910]

K Naimah most Natives in Canada are Christian and Catholics.....plus we don't like Native American drop American and say Native....or what tribe you come from...

[@Motomell]

[@rociolozano4342]

[@thehippiechic817]

i smudge everyday too ...

[@matthewmann8969]

Eskimos And Amerindians have always had a love hate relationship

[@faithfirstfitness]

matthew mann That's sad. They shouldn't the desire to protect your land, Language, culture and people should bring native peoples together .

[@briannemorris5432]

I am a First Nations woman of the Swampy Cree people and I have no hostility to Inuit people. I respect their culture. If you respect their culture, I would not use the name 'Eskimo' as it is an insult my ancestors had poorly given them. They prefer Inuit. I prefer First Nation as I am a descendant of the First Peoples of this land.

[@matthewmann8969]

Brianne Morris I was talking in general terms I did not mean all

[@rosalinddunphy4596]

And the Métis were forced into a Scrip system separated from the Cree, Dené & Ojibway relatives. Then force into extreme poverty, displaced living in shanties on the side of the road, called the "Road Allowa nce People". The government & Catholic church divided & separated us. But, we're finding our way back...

[@matthewmann8969]

​@@rosalinddunphy4596 Yeah I heard and read that many Metis faced racism from both First Nations And Whites but rarely of ever ran into Inuits yeah.

[@NonhumansRwonderful]

Why can't woman wear those clothes? Just a bit sexists.

[@twilor9515]

Women could, more often they wear ribbon skirts but increasingly people are relaxing the norms around gendered clothing in community. It’s just more commonly worn by men.

[@stevenzheng5459]

How First Nations is this man? He doesn't look First Nations at all. Looks full white.

[@JoseHernandez-dd2kg]

Steven Zheng You know that divide and conquer is a weapon well used by the occupiers. Look at my complexion but my DNA says I’m 50% Native and 34% European. I hope later on we all don’t start fighting about how much Native you are, if you are light or of a darker complexion and so on

[@goldensuki]

@@NC54 yes that’s true but we all know how natives look like even Métis like Comanche leader quannah he was like this and still looked very native this dude says she Navajo, white , and Inuit both And First Nations and Inuit don’t look like this and I know he has white ancestry but that’s a full lblooded looking person not even a bit of native shows in him Idk he seems like such a humble good person but don’t know about him being native.

[@goldensuki]

He’s First Natios and I don’t mean navajo *

[@whatwhat7798]

Blood quantum is a colonial construct.

[@hadassahs7307]

I'm 51.3% Native but I have porcelain skin, green eyes and strawberry blonde hair. It's just dominant genes.
