Reflection on the movie ‘Youth Made’

What a powerful video that took a great deal of courage to participate in.  The video clip that we watched began with poetry written by Aboriginal with imagery of the oppression faced by Aboriginals.  The video focused on the affect of residential schools and the attempt to eliminate Native culture through assimilation and residential schools.  The beginning also stated facts of the oppression and the consequences from residential schools.  For example the video stated that 70% of all residential students were sexually assaulted.  The video then joined three Aboriginals speaking to the camera and discussed their first hand accounts.  They described that their parents were still dealing with the pain and suffering from residential schools.  As the Government of Canada was issuing money to the survivors of residential schools, it was described that many of the memories that had been surpressed were now surfacing.  Another important point from the three whom were interviewed expressed that caucasians did not respect Aboriginals or understand the reason that Aboriginals are turned off from education.  That their parents hated school because of the residentials schools and then were passed down to the next generations.  This is very important because as a teacher I must be able to connect with each and every student, regardless of the colour of their skin.  I must also be sensitive and respectful to all students and support in anyway possible.
