The same injustices are problematic for the Indigenous peoples of the U.S. as well. I do not know whether Canada or the U.S. is worse in their treatment of these people but I do know that we have had the same catastrophic effect on the children who were forced into the residential schooling programs. Also, to this day, reservations remain some of the most under-served areas in terms of government assistance, health-care, and quality education. It is shameful that, as a modern society, we cannot establish effective means to meet the needs of these people who have been so marginalized for so long. It would be great if more authors incorporated some of this history into their work to help educate and inform everyone of the work that needs to be done. Thank you for your efforts.
