Thanks for teaching me a lot about indigenous history in Canada. I am inspired to learn more. I just finished Chelsea Vowel’s book, Indigenous Writes and I’m currently reading the summary of the RCAP.

As a descendant of French settlers, I'm not used to hear about Jacques Cartier as a kidnapper. It was eye-opening.
