That’s fake right? This isn’t really a children’s schoolbook, right?
Though as an Australian, we’re taught that our country was “uninhabited” and the Aboriginals “didn’t use most of the land and left it for the settlers.” So…yeah, we’ve probably got a couple of these books floating around here too.
“First Nations” suggests this is a Canadian text book of some kind, and given that they’re currently engaged in at least one “land dispute” that would be a war of aggression if international law was good for anything other than toilet paper, and a number of other disputes with First Nations people, I’d say this might be real.
Ah yes, That country. The other one that usually gets forgotten when it comes to discussions of brutal slaughter of natives because they were quieter about it.
Tbf I don’t think many public schools here would go straight up terra nullius rhetoric nowadays, but the fundamentals of how the First Peoples here relate with and cultivate the land are still poorly covered, and weren’t even addressed when I was at school.

They’re the polite North Americans so of course they did their genociding in a polite way.
Oh yeah, and don’t forget that Aboriginal people never had permanent settlements either!
Believe it.
