Reflection :

 Module 4 reflects the emotional and tragic part of Canadian history.  It describes the Indian Act. The film Off to School shows how the government was helping Indigenous people to get them an education, but it is clear from the history of residential schools and the Sixties Scoop that the government planned to assimilate indigenous children into white culture. The Sixties Scoop is a heartbreaking part of Canadian history. Indigenous children who were adopted by white families lost their language, culture and identity. This separation meant that these children were disconnected from their land and families. The pain of not knowing their roots is something that cannot be repaired. Although a settlement has been made, the loss these children experienced is not recoverable.  Module 4 has provided me with in-depth knowledge. All the videos and resources explain the presence of colonialism and how it impacted the lives of indigenous women. The policies were designed to remove women from leadership and powerful roles in the community.
