Very informative. They teach history and mention the aboriginal journey, but this tells another story. Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to glimpse into to the world of an aboriginal of Canada.

Very interesting. The world views are not as i thought. I would guess i was using my colonial ways of my world. I hope to see things differently now.
