Also known as being the most damaging kind of abuse, Aboriginal children were emotionally scarred as it was constantly meted out in the residential schools. They had to face much humiliation and ridicule by staff, also known as the people who were supposed to be taking care of them. Between both documentaries, survivors retell their tails on the emotional punishments they were given, such as being stripped to their underwear for trying to run away, taunted by the nuns, and called derogatory…

member of the aboriginal people, it is hard for me to determine if they feel like they have become apart of mainstream society. However, living in an area that is heavily populated with Native American people, I can come up with my best possible answer to this question. Even though they shop at the same places I do, or eat at the same restaurants, it still seems as though they are separated from the rest of the population.

Through research of the Kaurna people in…

One specific example would be the implementation and operation of Indian Hospitals, a part of Canadian Health Care history some would rather forget and one that many still feel the pain of. In her novel Healing Histories: Stories from Canada's Indian Hospitals, Laurie Meijer Drees collects and documents multiple experiences from within these hospitals. By studying…

Since the dawn of Australian cinema our Indigenous culture has been in the spotlight. However, it has not always been as positive as we see in today’s film, originally, the indigenous were depicted as evil, savage and primitive sub human animals that would hinder the development of Australia early in its “white life”. One director who has really shaped the way the indigenous Australians have been viewed in film today is Rolf de Heere, born in the Netherlands in 1951 who moved to Sydney when he…
