To what extent should contemporary society respond to the legacies of historical globalization? Part B

How effective are these responses?

Debate continues about the end results of the conflict in Oka. As you examine the different responses of Indigenous peoples, reflect on the effectiveness of these responses in relationship to Indigenous quality of life, identities, and citizenship.

Reflect: 

What occurred in Oka was one of many responses by Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Much like the Northwest Resistance led by Louis Riel, Aboriginal responses can be associated primarily with violence and conflict. Not all Aboriginal and Indigenous responses are violent. Which non-violent response would you consider effective in addressing the legacies of historical globalization?

Are People and Governments Responding? 

The actions of Indigenous peoples around the world demonstrate that efforts within the groups themselves are being taken to respond to the legacies of historical globalization. These responses are diverse and aim to address the lingering impacts of imperialism over Indigenous quality of life, identity, and citizenship.
