Episode 06: The Relationship of Immigrants and Indigenous People of Canada

 

As immigrants to Canada, we arrive with joy and excitement to make this new country our new home. But what happens when we learn the truth of Canada’s treatment, history and systemic injustice towards the First Peoples of this land? What happens when our dreams of Canada is become disillusioned with reality? 

In this episode, Andrea and Hostion share their experiences upon hearing the truth of Canada’s history towards Indigenous People, what kinds of relationships did the Original inhabitants have with Chinese immigrants and who are some prominent Indigenous artists and contributors that we can celebrate today.

For immigrant and non-immigrant alike, we all share a responsibility to learn, to be changed and to grow into better communities and advocates for truth and reconciliation. For no one is free until all are free.
