"Canadian national pride in the context of Indigenous communities is misplaced, hollow, and insincere in light of the fact that Indigenous people are stuck in the lowest strata of our economic and social scales, especially for a country as wealthy and advanced as ours."
This is how Leonard G. Flett, our speaker for Pride, answered the question: What does Canadian national pride look like to you in the context of Indigenous communities? In the last few years, there have been increased ethical tensions about what should count as "Canadian National Pride": What role does heritage play, who should be represented by public monuments, who is represented in "Canadian History?"
