I can make an excellent argument that French Canadians were treated as an exploitable underclass by the English.... BUT I also seem to recall that in the 18th century the vast majority of slave owners in Quebec were French Canadian and a small number of British owners.

linoleum floors posted:I think there are a lot of people in here who got a lovely Canadian history education and need remedial classes We had a whole unit in grade 7 about Indigenous people and I certainly don't recall coming away with any sense that settlers were the villains in the story. I didn't really start to get the whole story until I dated a girl who was taking an Indigenous studies course in university. I only learned about the residential school system because I used to help her edit her essays. I graduated high school in the early 2000s so I don't know the curriculum has been updated since then but the Canadian history course we had in grade 10 seemed to mostly be about how we single-handedly won World War I and II and how we're the peacekeepers of the world.

I saw Where The Spirit Lives as a kid and thought it was a work of fiction; a belief that may have been helped along by its kumbaya bullshit ending. The first time I learned about residential schools was in 2001, in college, five years after graduating high school, and even then it was only by accident. "First Nations Issues" was a mandatory course for my program, and it was taught by a white guy who didn't have a lesson plan, set no exam, marked all submissions as A+ regardless of quality, and cancelled two classes to play "Fievel Goes West" with no followup discussion or assignment or fuckall. So, all in all, an approach to First Nations education that was entirely consistent with the colonial education system. A couple of dudebros in my class took full advantage of the opportunity, called the Mohawks, made a visit, talked to some people and presented a seriously amazing report on the experience and the things they'd learned. I pulled some poo poo out of my rear end for a three-page essay and got the same mark they did.

Fashionable Jorts posted:poo poo, I graduated high school in 2006 and I didn't learn about residential schools until after. I graduated around the same time. Residential schools were definitely not part of the curriculum in Ontario at the time. I learned about them but only because my geography teacher took it upon herself to incorporate residential schools into a grade 11 elective course. I did *a lot* of Canadian history at the schools I went to, in English and in French, and all of it was about colonizers founding Canada. The extent of what we learned about indigenous people and indigenous history was that Montreal was founded in a a place called Hochelaga and indigenous people taught Jacques Cartier and his men how to fight off scurvy. We also learned about Tecumseh, but only has his history related to the war of 1812, and Louis Riel and the Red River Rebellion. The sad thing is this seems more comprehensive than many people I talk to.

The extent of my Albertan education was "Native people exist and used to be called Indians. They worship a turtle that birthed the world or something. Now, on to the more important subject, like how Canada saved the world during the Suez Crisis."

If anyone is interested Coursera has an Indigenous Canada course put together by University of Alberta that's pretty good. Mainly video lectures, optional PDF readings. https://www.coursera.org/learn/indigenous-canada/home/info It's free too! quote:Indigenous Canada is a 12-lesson Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) from the Faculty of Native Studies that explores Indigenous histories and contemporary issues in Canada. From an Indigenous perspective, this course explores key issues facing Indigenous peoples today from a historical and critical perspective highlighting national and local Indigenous-settler relations. Topics for the 12 lessons include the fur trade and other exchange relationships, land claims and environmental impacts, legal systems and rights, political conflicts and alliances, Indigenous political activism, and contemporary Indigenous life, art and its expressions. I finished University right before they started doing the mandatory Indigenous History class at U of Winnipeg. I remember people getting so angry about that. Really should be taught a lot sooner and with more focus as it has more relevance to our society than any of the European history we were taught in grade school.

I had a great time reading/listening to the all my fellow students complain about that. Just great content all around. The indigenous history courses there were pretty easy and fairly interesting. Not sure what they look like now.

Yeah, agreed. According to the BCTF, teachers in the school district I live in range from $49k/year to a max of $95k/year, as of this upcoming July. poo poo was bad for them when I finished high school a decade ago. That wasn't enough then and it isn't enough now.

I would posit that one of the reasons our country hadn't completely gone to poo poo yet is that our public school teachers make a livable wage, unlike our southern neighbours. At least they don't have to work at walmart on the weekend to cover rent. Naturally, priority #1 for the Ontario Tories is defunding public schools (and hospitals) for that reason.
