If we compare Native people of Canada to Na’vi people of the movie called AVATAR, there are a lot of differences like in the past, British people did not had much of technology, but in the movie earth people had so much of the technology. Because in the past British people had so few resources to invent new technology, but in the movie they had more than enough of technology to use. So today we are going to discuss over differences between Native people of Canada and Na’vi people of the movie AVATAR.…
You will probably will start reading this and think oh it's just about Canada , not very interesting you're thinking. But believe me it is. The Inuit and Sioux and also Haida all lived in Canada they are alike in many ways and also different in many ways…
Today Canada is one of the most multicultural nations in the world; however, certain minority groups struggle to represent their true identity. One of these groups includes South Asian girls, who face cultural challenges as well as the attached stigma of being a girl in a South Asian culture. Some of my personal challenges include trying to keep up with cultural standards, striving for perfection, and trying to maintain my parent’s expectation.…

Stretching from 1887 to 1934, assimilationist practices had begun, The Allotment Act had passed in 1887, “with the liberal value of individual property rights displacing the common ownership of land associated with tribal government (Brock 368).” By 1924 natives had begun acquiring American citizenship as a result of the Allotment Act, while it bestowed the individual with the right to vote it had the inherent drive of assimilation (Brock 368). Policymakers had begun to directly interfere with the internal affairs of First Nations groups upon the basis of their system of government, further deploying assimilationist policies that reflect their own beliefs (Brock 368). Individualism versus collective rights, similarly as to what Trudeau had…
Inuit culture is so incredibly rich and important to Canadian heritage, but is one of the most threatened cultures in Canada. Threatened by things such as corporate greed, assimilation, and global warming, Our Inuit population is at risk of losing their culture. This is why I decided to do my project on them. I personally believe that Canada has a lot to learn from the Inuit people but we may never get the chance if their dwindling culture is lost. The Inuit culture, like many native cultures, is one of peace and respect for the Earth. Which is something that I believe is lacking in our world. The Inuit people are being forced to stop eating the diet that they have grown accustomed to for over 10,000 years. As a country we are destroying the…
The conquistadores were brave and imaginative men, well worthy of their fame. It must not, however, be forgotten that they wrenched their empire from innocent hands; in an important sense, the settlement of the New World, which the historian Francis Jennings has called "the invasion of America," ranks among the most flagrant examples of unprovoked aggression in human history. When Columbus landed on San Salvador he planted a cross, "as a sign," he explained to Ferdinand and Isabella, "that your Highnesses held this land as your own." Of the Lucayans, the native inhabitants of San Salvador, Columbus wrote: "The people of this island . . . are artless and generous with what they have, to such…
Poutine — French fries generously slathered in gravy and cheese curds — is a classic Canadian treat that is said to have originated in Quebec in the 1950s. Since then, it has been adapted in many weird and wonderful ways from…

Would people from different cultures have similar ways of living? While Canada is considered to be a recent civilization, India is an ancient one. Therefore, both countries have different cultures and ways of living. Some major cultural differences people tend to contrast between cultures are their food, clothing and life styles.…
In Canada, there is a catastrophic history that accompanies the Aboriginal populations, suffering through colonialism and decades of forced assimilation into the larger Canadian society, and this history has, in turn, had devastating psychological and social consequences. There was a replacement of values and beliefs in society by Euro-Canadians, through ways such as the residential school system in order to assimilate children into mainstream society at the time (Switlo, 2002, pg. 103). Within the residential school system, there was widespread sexual victimization, and this system overall created fractured families, shredding the fabric of many First Nations communities. The goal was to destroy these group’s cultures and values and to teach…

One noticeable similarity the two cultures share is the way religions became official religions. The main religions in both China and India were not really thought of as religions but more of philosophies. The religions of China were more like lifestyle choices rather than a religion and the same goes for India. If it was not for the British involvement in India and the communist Chinese government the traditional religions of these two culture would still probably be…
