Some have been railing at critical raced theory. The very idea that they would have to share what they consider their history and culture with the experiences of others. They can't even handle the idea that their viewpoint might be shared with other's viewpoints.
But we've been actually wiping out other people's cultures, even changing their names to remove their cultural heritage. We've done to others what we obviously would not put up happening to us, or even the idea that it might happen to us. (This isn't just Canada, it happens in the US too).

The government (and pretty much everyone else) call my people the "Menominee", which isn't even a word in the language of our people. It's an Ojibwe (Chippawa) word meaning "Wild Rice People." In our language, we call ourselves "Mamaceqtaw,"which means "the People."

1.) US INDIAN BOARDING SCHOOL HISTORY :
“The truth about the US Indian boarding school policy has largely been written out of the history books. There were more than 350 government-funded, and often church-run, Indian Boarding schools across the US in the 19th and 20th centuries. Indian children were forcibly abducted by government agents, sent to schools hundreds of miles away, and beaten, starved, or otherwise abused when they spoke their native languages.”

Capt Gregory Prickett - And some of us do know about wild rice. It's actually not rice but a grass. Absolutely delicious!! It's a staple in our household. In fact, I just made wild rice, red raspberry and chicken salad a couple of weeks ago. I have to order it every year from Wisconsin, but it's well worth it.
Many of the tribal peoples' actual tribal names were wiped out by colonizers. The Tohono O'Odham were called the Papago (bean eaters) by the Spanish colonizers. The Dine were called Navajos (farm fielders) by the Spanish colonizers. There are also tribal names which were used by one tribe to describe another, so colonizers picked up on that "enemy" theme. Apache is actually a Zuni word for enemy, Comanche is actually a Ute word for enemy, etc. But let's not be bothered with learning that history because there's no racism anymore, it only divides us, and critical race theory is trying to erase true history, blah, blah, blah. SMDH.

Patricia Overmeyer - Try this, if you have a crockpot.
Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked wild rice
1 lb chicken
2 cups of chopped celery, carrots, and onions in equal parts
6 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon Lowrey's seasoning
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup flour
4 cups whole milk
a few tablespoons white wine to taste
salt and pepper to taste
Put wild rice, raw chicken, mirepoix, chicken broth, and Lowrey's in a crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours. Do not drain. Then melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the flour and let the mixture bubble for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the half of the milk until a thick, creamy mixture forms. Stir in the wine. Add to crockpot, stirring to blend. Add the remainder of the milk, then salt and pepper to taste.
Then enjoy...

Capt Gregory Prickett - That's sounds delicious! I only have three crockpots, so no issues cooking that dish. I make a chicken and wild rice soup that is similar to that but not with the milk/wine mixed in. I have quite a few wild rice recipes that I've collected over the years, in addition to my mom's recipes. When I was at a tribal judicial conference up on the Oneida Nation they served a wild rice dish that was really good. It had bison, chokecherries, mushrooms, onions, etc. I immediately got that recipe. Only problem down here is that we don't have chokecherries, so I substitute cranberries.

CPL LaForest Gray I suspect they are using theory in the scientific sense. In the course of normal conversation most people use the term theory to mean what in the scientific community would be a hypothesis. That's why people misunderstand the certainty behind scientific concepts like evolutionary theory. It's a lot more certain than a hypothesis.
"I have a theory..." no you don't, you have a hypothesis... :)

SPC Kevin Ford It's one thing to voluntarily change your name... but not having a choice is just wrong!
...."For as long as she can remember, Danita Bilozaze knew that the name on her birth certificate, "Danita Loth," didn't reflect her Indigenous identity.
From the stories her mother recounted to her, she knew that Catholic missionaries had changed her family's name. Her great-grandfather, a man known as Lor Bilozaze, was written into priests' logs as "Loth Bilozaze." Government record books in Canada ultimately dropped the "Bilozaze," and Loth became their surname."....
