Main questions we are seeking to answer:
- How are place and identity connected?
- How and why have the First Nations of Canada been misrepresented, generalized, and excluded from mainstream Canadian literature and media?
- In what ways can we change the narrative regarding the First Nations?
Hopes for the research and possible helpful research methodologies:
Our hopes for this research is to begin the discussion on changing the narrative of the First Nations of Canada. We would like to moreover understand the connections that exist between place and identity, and the ways in which this connection can be utilized in modern understanding. Our aim is to focus on articles that promote the development of education and communication throughout all systems and demographics. The hope is that ultimately our discussion will create a ripple effect for the the rest of society to be open to change their perspective.
