I learned so much about the history of colonization in the nation known today as Canada and its present-day masks, one of which being 鈥渟low violence鈥 which continues to wreak havoc on Indigenous Peoples. Throughout the research process, I have felt a range of emotions 鈥 humbled, heart-broken, furious 鈥 and filled with a desire to share what I have learned. The works I have聽compiled聽as part of this project are expansive in their content and the topics they cover but among many of them, there was a common theme: hope.
