On ne peut pas faire deux fois la même erreur

With this documentary, Alanis Obomsawin puts the treatment of First Nations children at the heart of her reflection. She argues that family and child welfare services for First Nations children are underfunded and unfair compared to those provided to other Canadian children. This is a documentary that goes to the heart of this legal battle for social justice, equity and basic rights for all Aboriginal children in Canada so that they can enjoy the same rights as others. What is Jordan's Principle? When is it discrimination against First Nations people? How did the Aboriginal children who lived in residential schools feel? This documentary gives voice to First Nations people and experts who have investigated violence and discrimination against First Nations people. This documentary challenges the very foundations of court cases and takes us behind the scenes, offering a straightforward, authentic and striking insight into the injustices and systemic racism experienced by First Nations in Canada. This documentary is a valuable resource in social studies education as it provides an inside look at the injustices experienced: discrimination and its deep impact on First Peoples. On the other hand, we discover the resilience of these peoples, the strength of their determination, the unique relationship they have with nature, spirituality and age-old traditions.
