FILM : https://www.nfb.ca/film/mary-two-axe-earley/ PLEASE BEWARE: In this course you will be evaluated on the language you choose when you write about Indigenous peoples. Here are resources on how to write respectfully about Indigenous peoples in your essay. A short blurb on repeat offenders: ″indigenous″ – this is lower case. Always capitalize Indigenous. ″our Indigenous people″ or ″Canada′s Indigenous people″- this is possessive, inappropriate, and offensive. Indigenous peoples are not property of the state or its citizens. ″Indigenous Canadians″ – Many Indigenous peoples assert we are not Canadians or citizens of this state. Use ″Indigenous peoples in Canada″. Or use ″Indigenous peoples in what is currently Canada″ if you want to be more critical. ″the Indigenous″ – this objectifies Indigenous peoples and is not appropriate. ″the Indigenous community″- There is no single Indigenous group, use ″Indigenous peoples″ or ″Indigenous communities″ instead. ″Aboriginal″ – This is an outdated term, and should only be used when citing Section 35 Aboriginal rights or when referencing older material.
