Week 10: Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls, Inuit Perspectives I found myself very relieved to finally discuss the murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls in Canada, a topic that receives devastatingly little attention in the mainstream media. When thinking about this journal article, I automatically knew that I wanted to contribute to Metis artist Jaime Black’s (2014) REDress project, which was started as a way to build attention to the realities of the missing and…

Many refugees should be let allowed into different countries including the U.S, because they should be able to start a new life. There are multiple fights going on in the Middle East because of the Isis Terrorist group. There has been much trouble caused because of them. Multiple bombings and shootings have killed many innocent families including children all because of Isis. Apart from all the destruction Isis has caused these families need to find better places to live and seek new lives for…

Canada was not all as you see it be now. Behind the freedom, there was a time Canada had to face and fight to become the nation it is today. A nation that was part of the British Empire, it was only expected of Canada to be involved with whatever Britain was involved in. It was only expected of Canada to have almost every treaty or agreement with another country, approved by a Britain official. It was only expected of Canada to follow the laws and conduct that Britain had laid out for them.…

The Canadian Charter of Freedoms and Rights of 1982 clearly outlines rights of all Canadians. Part three states that every citizen of Canada has “the right to vote”. Consequently, it was evident that this was not always the case. Certain actions toward Canadian women that have labeled and at times, outwardly stated they were undeserving of certain rights were a reality. The fact that this demeaning behavior existed and was aimed at Canadian women can certainly be considered deplorable and…

Throughout the past decades and presently, Quebecers have been known for their ongoing loyalty and strong devotion to their nation including their dying culture. Quebec’s advocacy of political independence from Canada, i.e. nationalism, has been significantly influential in shaping Canadian politics in the past and present. Nationalism has not only heavily influenced culture and politics in Quebec but more importantly has influenced politics in the Canadian nation as a whole. It is safe to say…

I believe that too many things went into effect that caused the colonial demise of England's colonies. First of which was The French and Indian war, (1754-1763). Which began with a dispute between the British, and the French, and the Indians over the Forks of Ohio. Because the British wanted to take the land away from them. The British won and as a result, The Peace treaty of 1763 was signed. The British soon began to tax the colonists to help pay for the cost of the war. The results of the war…

What caused Britain and America to grow apart? First of all, the war began simply as a disagreement over the way Great Britain treated the colonists versus how they felt they should be treated. Because of the tighten controls of Britain, the colonists started thinking of themselves as real British. This means they should deserve all the fundamental rights that a British have. The British, on the other hand, didn't see the colonists as a part of their community. They did not think the colonists…

In the early twentieth century, Canada and America had similar health care systems since both were colonies of England and they had common political, cultural, and economic structure, which they also shared similar religious traditions, health diseases and healing methods for their health care systems. Although they had many similarities, the delivery of health care system changed in 1961when the democratic government of Saskatchewan, Tommy Douglas, stepped in and proposed a national health care…

opinion on the establishment. Many Canadians are asking themselves whether we might be better off without the Senate. Over the last several months, a talk about abolishing the Senate.Abolishing the Senate would be a terrible loss for Canada because the Senate does serve Canada well. Our first Prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, described the Senate as a place for “sober…

“ The Tlingit’s are known as Kolosh and are a Native American people that belong to the Southeastern coast and costal islands of Alaska ( History of the Tlingit Indians).” The Tlingit’s have many different religions, but the one they are very close to is the Haida religion. They have lived in 3 different groups including Yell or Raven, Goch or Wolf, and Nehadi or Eagle and had 18 different families which had the names of wolf, bear, eagle, whale, shark, porpoise, puffin, orca, goose, beaver, owl…
