Its not well known that the Jewish Holocaust took notes from the North American Holocaust. Although Canada was less openly brutal than the US, its important to realize our hands are far from clean. From the movie description: America always took the more wide-open approach, for example, by decimating the Buffalo to get rid of a primary food source, by introducing pox blankets, and by giving $1 rewards to settlers in return for scalps of Indigenous Men, women, and children, among many, many other horrendous acts. Canada, on the other hand, was more bureaucratic about it. They used what I like to call the gentlemans touch, because instead of extinguishment, Canada sought to remove the Indian from the Man and the Women and the Child, through a long-term, and very specific program of internal breakdown and replacement call it assimilation. Unfortunately this movie was never fully funded, but its still a powerful film.
