Ontario to get mandatory sensitivity training on indigenous people, history

[petros]

Never could dance worth a damn, but I like to watch. Food's amazing.

The group I hang with are hoop dancers and drummers. I enjoy the drumming, it does something to the psyche.

Indian tacos are delicious. I think I'm going to do lunch at Neechie's tomorrow.

It's ironic that much, possibly most, of what we know about our own people (especially the Eastern tribes) comes from (mostly white) archaeologists and anthropologists.

There's a fair portion that's questionable. Take for instance the shock and dismay caused by the announcement that the St Lawrence Iroquois were extinct.

It's pretty neat to visit an exhibit about yourself, when you're extinct.

Like all science, especially the soft sciences, you need to read with a healthy scepticism.

I was extinct once.

I got better.

We do clean up good, don't we?

True, if I followed what I was taught in school, I'd believe my own people just kill the Wendat at Ste Marie Amongst the Hurons, because we were bloodthirsty savages. While the Wendat were just peaceful hunter gatherers.

That made me lol for real.

Mean but "rez dashians" made me lol.

Blinders are a terrible thing.

They can also be used to keep your focus on something and avoid the typical distractions that are employed. You are troubled by the mirror you use as you think more of the image that you see that the image is actually worth. Look how you saved this place from all the bad outside influences over the years that you have been an unleashed troll. Well, a few rather than all as that is the score your ego sees rather than what reality would recall.

Only an idiot would call facts a distraction.

Go put a watermelon on your head.

Goes to show what a diet of popcorn like food will do for you. Same body shape as all the female office workers in the 'civilized' part of Canada.

I'm thinking they each drink about a 12 pak every day.
It's their 'cousins' that can be the distraction should you go to the wrong party after the bars have all closed down.

Sorry the touch screen jumped.

Don't go blaming popcorn for you being an idiot.

You don't think, that's 100% of your problem.

Your meds are wearing off.

Made me laugh even harder. The gal I got it from looks just like the moose in pink.

The only thing better would be to go to your own funeral, eh?

I had my dna tested to find out what sort of or how much human I was. Wish I'd asked my Dad to get his done before he passed away. My moms was as expected. Found 3.7% neandertal dna, the only kind of cool thing. But my dad woulds have been the mystery...unknown father...juicy juicy family gossipy stuff. Nothing like finding out they think you're extinct, that's kind of cool.

Bear your knowledge of Ontario first nations is impressive. I thought I read all there was about the Beaver wars, apparently not.

Your the man

They are placebos, don't sweat it Nurse Shirley.

And then there are the 'bad nurses'.

I have an official Indian name that I got from the Dead Dog Cafe website a decade plus ago.

I am "Lawrence Steadfast Dodo Bird" and I wear it with pride.

Does that count? Do I pass?

Sensitivity Training just sounds so........sensitive.

 

[damngrumpy]

Mandatory training I see do the government people not understand the more they
force a change of view on people the more they dislike the the people who are the
victims of what ever the problem is? The bias goes underground and the chance
one or more people might get turns into a thumbs down. I remember when I did
hiring i made up my mind about two minutes into an interview in some cases less
time.

 

[MHz]

So uh, will any Indigenous public servants be forced to take this sensitivity training?

Only the ones that cater to the trailer park people.
