to the Council of the Canadian Historical Association and the Canadian public
We write to express our grave disappointment with the Canadian Historical Association’s “Canada Day Statement”. The Council of the CHA claims that “the existing historical scholarship” makes it “abundantly clear” that Canada’s treatment of Indigenous peoples was genocidal and that there was “broad scholarly consensus” as to the evidence of “genocidal intent.” The CHA Council also attacks the profession in stating that historians have turned a blind eye to the tragedies that have marked Canadian history.
BEG TO DIFFER: Comments & Definitions
Now many of us are not historians & scholars however with general and in some cases specific & experiential knowledge of the purposeful and institutionally backed church & state efforts to contain and remove indigenous reality from the face of the Great Dominion…one could argue by definition if it walks like cultural genocide, talks like cultural genocide, & acts like cultural genocide …it must be cultural genocide.
The international legal definition of the crime of genocide is found in Articles II and III of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide.(excerpt)
And one closing comment!
