The biggest blind spot is the AFN. These college courses appear to be begun by the AFN party loyalsits and fit into NDP teachers unions.
The course doesn't address Aboriginals at all before 'Westerners' appeared. The course should address this as much as possible before using the 'Westernization' to 'teach.' If the school is serious, it would look at the AFN over the last thirty years and their affects on Aboriginals.
I wouldn't open up my 'heart and mind' to an Aboriginal AFN. That is a mistake. The course requires the participants to 'tell something about themselves.' Don't buy into these judges. Look at their view, leans, they use to study you and what they do with the information.
The course is a stereotype.........
