I wish my culture were as colourful! Why can't all our schools teach about the original aboriginal way of life as a full-on subject? I have two teenagers in secondary school, only one day out of the whole year was dedicated to aboriginal studies. I'm not impressed. I have learned much more during my adulthood than my school years about how badly the aboriginals were treated when Europeans came. I make it a point to impress upon my girls the same knowledge in a basic form so they don't grow up with lies like I did.
