VOICED : For indigenous people Canada 150 is not all celebrations

Dixon is on a mission to educate First Nations children about their history, sparked by the lack of Indigenous representation in the Canada 150 campaign. The Rethink 150 campaign highlights the repression faced by Indigenous people. The Sikh people, part of the Okanagan Nation, are reviving their language and culture, which were nearly lost due to colonization.
