Not sure if you've seen the movie 'Angry Inuk', but it highlights well the disparity between Indigenous ways of life (traditional, life sustaining seal hunting) and white settler 'morality' and extractive policies. Living in Canada sometimes feels like our government is just the logging & oil industries in a trenchcoat.
