Hi Liz, guess this is one instance I should have kept my opinion to myself
Why were English/French immigrants not required to learn the language and culture of the people they found in Canada when they arrived? Because they killed them and defeated them in war, that makes it OK?
last I checked the Inuit were alive and well in our North. I don't believe they were killed by the Europeans but were moved and promised a lot of land (frozen tundra yes).
Their language is similar to the jamaican patois in that it's a mixture of other languages and differs from community to community. However, they do speak English and just like Jamaica, English is taught in their school systems.
