With the understanding that I claim no expertise in indigenous North American histories, after having explored two museums in the Quebec City region, I notice that the interpretation is much more strident than anything I’ve seen in the States.
Lots of active word choices about what Europeans did to indigenous communities, and the intergenerational trauma which exists as a result. Little passive word choice, and little of that trademark USA BUT WE PROSPERED NONETHELESS speech that all minorities seem obliged to use in their interpretations of their own histories.
Just some observations.
