I have mentioned this phenomenon where white or non indigenous people will ask me while viewing apartments if there are any Indians living here. They are not shy. They want to know if they have to pay hydro and if they will have to live with Indians, to which I always say: there are absolutely indigenous people living here, this is Treaty 1 territory and much of our survival in this space is thanks to our indigenous partners. They then explain how Indians can be trouble. To that I say well the nurse and mother of two isnt a pain for me, the indigenous students are pretty cool and my Metis boyfriend could clean more but I doubt thats because of his ancestors. For me this article resonated stronger with the racism I have witnessed.
