Depuis des milliers d’années, les Peuples Autochtones ont été cités comme des premiers occupants de la planète. Leur mode de vie différait de celui des autres de part le monde. Jusqu’à l’heure actuelle, leur vie reste différente de celle des autres. Ils ont vécu des atrocités, de la marginalisation et de la discrimination.Avec l’arrivée de la colonisation et du christianisme, on croyait qu’ils

Many a times, mainstream humanity considers indigenous peoples savages, barbarians with no idea what life is and how one can live. They assume that IPs are ignorant of everything including their own survival techniques. To the "enlightened" mainstream, IPs should be helped out of poverty, their cultures and situations.
