*“There’s been a deliberate skating over and glossing over of the real
history of this country,” said Monkman, who is of Cree ancestry. “And I
wanted a very strong message for people – this year particularly – to not
allow them to celebrate their country without really reflecting on the
problems with their country’s founding myths.”*
