<\/p>\nIn class, we have been talking extensively about racism, the repercussions it has and the negative legacy that is left behind. From mistreatment and severe abuse to derogatory words and stereotypes. We understand that, in order for us to never allow something like this to occur, we need to learn from historical mistakes.<\/p>\n
But… not everyone feels this way. <\/p>\n
What do you mean? Well, this story takes place in Washington, U.S. A student, who is from <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kentucky (see map), mockingly stood in front of an Indigenous Elder. The students, who go to an all-male, Catholic private school, were attending another march which relates to their personal\/religious views. They came over to the Indigenous Peoples’ March and screamed things like, “Make America Great Again.” It is very clear that this student was aware of his malicious behaviour as he continues to smile while his terrible friends laugh and cheer him on. <\/p>\n
We have to applaud how Nathan Phillips reacted to this student. He remained calm and composed, and continued his chant. We could probably guess how: Lim, Mark, Berocious or Daniel would have reacted… enough said. <\/p>\n

How did you feel when you watched the incident? Try to think about this critically by asking questions like: who, what, where, when, why or how? For example, I thought: where was this student’s teacher? Also, what are your thoughts about what Phillips says: “When I was there singing, I heard them saying ‘Build that wall, build that wall…this is Indigenous land. We’re not supposed to have walls here. We never did.”<\/p>\n UPDATE: This student came on t.v. and told his side of the story. You can view it and read what he claims to be what happened. You will notice a few differences in the article below as opposed to the one above. <\/p>\n https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2019\/01\/19\/us\/teens-mock-native-elder-trnd\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n Of course, it is your time to weigh in. What do you feel about what happened? What do you think might have been what truly transpired on that day? Do you think that these students were being disrespectful or racist, or were they just messing around and were unaware of their conduct?
