This reading log is about the attempted assimilation of the first nations people of Canada. Ronda is attempting to tell this history from a more unbiased view. It proves to be a difficult task as most records from this time were recorded and translated by biased missionaries and Europeans. “Indian speeches were filtered through white interpreters, recorded by white secretaries, and ultimately arranged in the memoirs of white missionaries”(Pg.67). Ronda argues in favour of the first nations against the Europeans to expose us to their forceful ways of inflicting religion. The Europeans tried to convert the first nations and uproot their culture.
