it’s still a debate with very stereotypical, short sighted and even racist overtones in many groups, including those in government.

This is very much a shame, and hopefully it's only a matter of time before those groups/people fade away, because that is not what Canada is about.

I am optimistic that things will continue to change for the better, especially when I see more celebrations of indigenous culture being offered throughout the region I live in.

Even the inclusion of smudging ceremonies at helps to raise more awareness, and I'm seeing more of that, even in events not specifically focused on indigenous culture.
