assignment 6
1. Why is this documentary called "The Canary Effect"?
The canary is literally the signifier of life. The documentary is about the policies that the Americans used. the indians mark the shift from fresh air to poison gas in the American political atmosphere and our treatment of the indians. ''The canary effect reflects the rise and fall of our democratic faith''
2. Why is it ridiculous to say that Columbus discovered America?
There were already millions of Native Americans living in the Americas at the time Columbus made his first voyage. Also, the Vikings were the first Europeans to set foot in America, they landed in America as early as the 10th century. You can't ''discover'' something that's already been taken by other people.
3. What have you learnt from watching this film?
Davy: I learnt that it is ridiculous how the people were treating native americans. It is very scandalous.
Simon: Before we watched the documentary i didn't really know what life was like for the Native Americans living in the reservations in the US. i have learnt that they don't get the same opportunities as the Americans do. I think this should be changed.
Kobus: After i watched the documentary i realised that people still stand behind the racist ideals of a long time ago. I feel compassion for the Native Americans who are treated this way.
Walid: I've learned that there has been a genocide in history to which we don't pay enough attention to like we do to the Holocaust. I think there should be more attention to the Native Americans because they were peaceful and European colonists took their homeland.
