And while this really sucks, it also means that it\u2019s imperative for us to fight these pernicious ideas. One of the most effective ways to do this is through EDUCATING OURSELVES, so that we can then educate others, spread awareness, and shut down these harmful ideas. You\u2019re probably going to meet some very confused people who hold some of these views \u2013 so why not be prepared? For a little intro, check out this Wab Kinew video below:<\/p>\n<div class='avia-iframe-wrap'><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"STROMBO: SOAP BOX: Wab Kinew\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GlkuRCXdu5A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>ACTIVITY 1:<\/strong> Dispelling Common Myths<\/p>\n<p>The link below is an excellent resource that takes on 9 of the most commonly held stereotypes towards Indigenous peoples in Canada. Do Indigenous people in Canada really not pay taxes? Are Indigenous people getting a \u201cfree ride\u201d, as your friend\u2019s racist uncle likes to argue?? Let\u2019s take a closer look: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/nalaatsi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2021\/12\/dispelling-common-myths-ebook-1.pdf\">Dispelling Common Myths<\/a><\/p>\n<p>After reading through this document, I\u2019d like you to choose ONE of the nine myths. Once you\u2019ve chosen one of the myths you\u2019re going to write a\u00a0<em>persuasive essay\u00a0<\/em>that completely dispels that myth.<\/p>\n<p>As you probably guessed, we\u2019re using the 5 paragraph format again. But this will be the last time I promise!
