If you had read the book, you would know that i was talking specifically about the practice of "Wilderness canoeing" "Retracing the paths of the voyageurs," etc, which is a popular pastime among urban Canadians who use this activity to bolster their sense of connection to the land. Meanwhile, many indigenous groups wait in vain for settlement of their legal claims to the very same land. I did not in any way say that indigenous people don't paddle -- what i said was, that this practice of justifying one's "Canadianness" by paddling was really a way of ignoring the injustice of the way settler communities have treated FN. And indeed, academics who know something about the field think that what I said was pretty tame: try reading this: https://canlit.ca/article/troubled-legacies-the-map-and-the-canoe/. I never used the term "white privilege" or "reek" at all. This is another case of selective quotation to try to make your point -- something you would have learned about in my first year class, if indeed you attended university at all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03159764360803795778noreply@blogger.com
