290-291) As such, a number of artists which perpetuated the image of the Indigenous in Canada were credited for appropriating the cultures through their art and literature. Emily Carr, for example, is widely accredited for her work on documenting Indigenous Canadian landscape and culture. The CBC acted as a vehicle for broadcasting this work to the rest of the nation, which aided in bringing otherwise unexplored territory to the fore. The limits, therefore, are not plain to see, as initially it…

wonderful opportunity to see how different cultures express their values and traits through commercial items from jewelry and clothing to sculptures and soaps. At all the tents, every owner seemed to take extreme pride in their wares. It reminded me of the way small business owners across America proudly sell “All-American” and locally produced goods.

have suffered much over great amount of time. Almost every reason we have suffered has been due to the British and their fellow loyalists who walk among us. The inflict taxes on us that make it harder to live in this already arduous colony. It takes guts, strength and will to live here unlike back in the pampered villages of England. We must maintain every penny and every square foot of land to help us succeed. I know many of you may see what I’m saying as hypocrisy, but it is not. The British…
