Module #3, Post #5

For my last post this module, I came across the amnesty international website, which has a section specifically about Indigenous People in Canada. The write-up on this site briefly summarized much of what has been done to the indigenous peoples in Canada and how they have been wronged.
It also lead to a couple of other internal links about
- Idle No More Movement that has brought many people out to demand respect for the rights of Indigenous peoples.
- No More Stolen Sisters that outlines what has happened to the missing and murdered Indigenous women of Canada, which also leads to other links as well!
- Get Involved! that suggests you write a letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
I think that this site has the ability to get outsiders and aboriginal peoples involved to contribute to further research on Indigenous knowledge, media, and community reality. I believe that in order for these contributions to happen, you have to get people involved!
