      oh looks like our friend mike deleted the comment. Well matt ceutzpalin, you shouldn't share your identity online even if it's just what country you live in, it can have unexpected consequences.

    I am moved by this presentation, this is applicable to every indigenous member of their orgin. I couldnt agree more that the choices we make today affect the lives of the indigenous population and they deserve a better life and equal opportunities as every other citizen!

    Your passion and commitment to your family, people and Canada is inspiring! I teach grade 6 and read about this TEDX in "Urban Tribes: Native Americans in the City" which students from our Red Maple Book Program will be reading. It is my honor to engage in conversations with students who read this insightful book about it's contents. I will also now be sharing this video each year with my class when we learn about residential schools and Aboriginal Youth in Canada Today. Thank-you for standing up and sharing. Your words will continue to have an amazing ripple effect igniting change within the hearts and minds of Canadians.

    Thank you Gabrielle. For sharing your story with us. I am an avid believer that inorder to change statistics and to fully impact our First Nation students, we must improve our educational systems. What better ways than to collaborate! Partnerships with non-First Nation systems and First Nation systems is a strenghth for both parties. Yes, we have to sit at round tables and continue to discuss these tough issues. There must be equal opportunity for all. Most First Nation communities are not quite at a stage to forgive the past. While some are or have forgiven. I am familiar with a couple First Nation communities who believe it is the right time to move forward and to better the lives of their members. Education is of the outmost importance and goal for each student. Graduation levels have doubled. This is great success. Now these students are encouraged to attend post secondary education. Times are changing and we are bettering the quality of life for our people. We have learned their ways and are using their teachings to improve us. We are demanding that they learn our ways and teach our history to all students. This is proving to be a struggle. But, like you have stated we are growing as a nation and we are not going any where.
    Hiy, Hiy.

    I belong to an indigenous group in Vietnam - my home country, but we are also a major in our population. I never before gave a second thought about other indigenous groups in my home country. I'm taking a course in college about indigenous people in Canada and this absolutely moving and informative. thank you

    THIS is why I consider myself fortunate to be raised in Northern Manitoba, and also why I have chosen to spend my teaching career North of the 53rd. I'm in my 12th year teaching at the end of the road for these very reasons. +95% of our student population here is Indigenous.

    Canadians have to remember that 100% of All Indigenous children in Canada were taken from their homes, and given over to European Canadians to raise! My beautiful young TEENAGERS are the First People in my family line that are permitted by Canada to be raised by their Very Own Parents! That is how young and inexperienced Canada's Indigenous populations are at having Families! That's really Shocking to wrap your head around!
    It's hard for Me to imagine, Me the First Mom. Wow
    The last segregated school in Canada closed in 1996, and the last children removed from their families simply for the purpose of assimilation was in 1991. We really have only been granted our FREEDOM in the 1990s! This is important to remember when we see our people homeless, violent, and drug and alcohol addicted. We were never PARENTED! My mother wasn't allowed to raise me, her mother wasn't allowed to raise her, and her mother wasn't allowed to raise her, yet now we are being judged for our parenting and life skills?
    The people who raised us were priests, nuns, and institution workers. They didn't love us or raise us in love. In most places, siblings being raised in the Same Institution were not even permitted to talk to Each Other! If friendships developed, the children would be unceremoniously Separated. Anything that gives a people strength and resiliency was denied us; family, love, friendship, really, what else is there of value in this world?

      She actually does: she says that we have to start discussing these issues at home and in board rooms. It means that you have to see how you can effect change on an individual basis at home and on a larger scale through your workplace. Educating yourselves on Indigenous issues is a first step and educating other is the next step, which is a practical path

    That was a whole lot of nothing. This girl probably received a free education and preferential treatment.
    The native birthrate is four times that of non-natives. Not surprising. Natives receive our tax dollars for having babies. Native college grads can start a career with no student debt and preference in hiring. In other words, natives can afford to have kids, non-natives cannot.
    One telling note here, she says she grew up near a residential school. In other words, people from her village attended the school as day students, not as boarders. So, why the dysfunction in her family? Stop blaming residential schools. It is an inaccurate cop-out to blame these schools. Today, dysfunction is caused by persisting in maintaining reserves in areas where there are no jobs, too much idleness, regular welfare money, cronyism, drugs and alcohol.

    • @KagamineSydmay
      @KagamineSydmay 7 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      actually you are wrong regarding the college debt. Indigenous youths do not get free education, I suggest you do some research as this is a common misconception.
      To me, your comment speaks of a great bias as well as ignorance, and I do mean your entire comment.

      colonization didn't do any good for indigenous people. instead it stripped th of their identity and culture so the greedy controllers can have their way with water air and land. look at our environment, indigenous people respected the land and animals before colonization. You are part of the problem and need to wake up and educate yourself.
