not just America. growing up in Canada, exactly 0 minutes were dedicated to discussing treatment of First Nations peoples...noteworthy given that government's exceptionally awful history in that regard
Huh. I went to public school in Ontario between 1987 and 2000 and all I ever learned about first nations people was how shitty they were treated. It was so often the point of our geography and canadian history lessons that I feel like the only thing I know about Canada's history is that they treated first nations poorly. It was so heavily reenforced that a lot of my schoolmates got empathy fatigue.
