    I don’t mean to downplay the history at all! It is different because so many people nowadays tends to brush off past atrocities because they happened x amount of years ago and therefore don’t affect what happens now.

    How many times have we witnessed someone bringing up how the history of slavery and/or residential schools still affect our society in the present which then almost always results with people getting incredibly defensive because “the past is the past, get over it”.

    That’s what I meant by unnoticeable; a lot people brushed it off, treating History like a one and done thing.
