Truth & Reconciliation is MISUNDERSTOOD in Canada

[@MalloryRoseCo]

Which of these misunderstandings do you feel we could make the biggest impact if they it were solved for good??

The history must become part of our National Narrative before anything else can happen. Good on you.

As a,Westerner I'm deeply ashamed damage done when looking in to the history of how indigenous people have been so badly mistreated. I personally think we have a lot to gain and learn by working together, but that's understandably a difficult bridge for some people to cross, and I don't blame them for being angry given the traumatic impact of past actions which have deeply affected generations of people.

Your recognition of the mistreatment of Indigenous people and your desire for understanding and collaboration is a positive step. 🧡 Let's keep supporting one another for a more inclusive and compassionate future. 🙏🏽

I appreciate this video and love this channel. Decolonization is an important process in my life. I wasn’t taught much about Indigenous history in school other than receiving misinformation here and there. I am not Indigenous but due to my Asian heritage and looks, I was often mistaken for an Indigenous person in elementary school and high school. I was a recipient of a lot of racial slurs, especially in the 1990s. It really shocked me and made me very aware of the way the First Nations are treated in Canada. Since my recent move to Manitoba, I have been making even more efforts to learn about the cultures and history of the First Nations and am grateful to be here on Turtle Island. I unfortunately think that there are still many obstacles to overcome when it comes to Truth & Reconciliation. One last note. Looking at Quebec and Manitoba reminds me of a situation I had with an old roommate (from eons ago). She was looking for a place to stay, so I rented her one of my bedrooms. It didn’t take long before she redecorated the whole place and put all my things in a corner so that she could fill the apartment with her things and her style. She began making all the decisions (such as having her guests over nearly every day and night, calling the billing companies to add new services), and making me feel small for my way of living and my beliefs (laughing at my environmental activism, spiritual beliefs, etc.) After a year, I felt like a stranger in my own home and we had to part ways. But, I am sure that if she had the power, she would have forced me to live with her, according to all her rules. It was nuts. That’s how I see the current relationship between the colonies and the First Nations. Maybe I’m wrong, but I always feel like Indigenous people and everything that’s sacred to their Nations are routinely pushed into a corner, mocked or fetishized, in their own home! I am so sorry that this is happening, and I hope things change.

Thank you for sharing your journey and insights. It's heartening to hear that you're actively engaging with Indigenous cultures and history. Your experiences and empathy highlight the need for understanding and respect among all people. The parallels you drew between your past roommate situation and the relationship between the colonies and First Nations offer a unique perspective. It's important for us to acknowledge these dynamics and work towards positive change. Let's continue to learn, support, and advocate for Truth & Reconciliation together. 🧡🙏🏽

My mother turtle mountain Ojibwe from North Dakota had been put in indian boarding school. She never talked about it, except for the stories of her being hit and to speak English only. She never hugged us kids. I always thought she never really loved me, but now, after she is no longer here, I have learned because of researching and reading about the boarding school horror, I have realized she did love me but didn't know how to show it. She was 7 years old when sent to the school, so she was never shown love.

I'm sorry your mother went through such a difficult time at the residential school. Her experiences likely shaped her ability to express love. Your realization shows empathy and understanding, helping you heal and understand your family's history. Your efforts are meaningful and show strength. 🧡🧡🧡

Another great video. I'm a subscriber! Your a gift to all of us. What would you consider a act of reconciliation from a very normal citizen? Thanks

[@MalloryRoseCo]

Thank you so much for your support and kind words! Acts of reconciliation can be meaningful steps towards building understanding and unity. As a normal citizen, you can engage in acts of reconciliation by Educating yourself, Learn about and respect Indigenous cultural practices, supporting Reconciliation Initiatives, and a lot more! 😊

You are very welcome, Deborah. 🧡

A lot of the problem is history that has been replaced by untrue history lessons taught to us for years they don't bring out both sides of the story

[@MalloryRoseCo]

You're absolutely right. It's crucial to seek out diverse perspectives and sources to gain a more comprehensive understanding of history, especially when it comes to topics like Indigenous history that have often been misrepresented. Your awareness of this issue is an important step toward promoting a more accurate and inclusive education for everyone. 🙏🏽
