Authentic culture trickles up not down...
Left progressives correctly reject the economic trickle down fantasy.
Why then do they accept the justice and equity trickle down model, in which state-increased access and advantages for collaborating professional class individuals ("role models") would solve the aboriginal apartheid by some unknown magic contrary to historical evidence?
The new campaigns of state-funded education of aboriginal culture and science will be a disaster, by design.
Real economic independence or bust.
Without economic empowerment as a basis, top-down provision of ancillary "knowledge" will only deepen the crisis: they don't have economic power, then let them eat state-provided restored "culture".
Multicultural Canada knows how to assimilate with "bilingualism" and neuter with "education".
The new model of residential schools is to form an aboriginal cadre to feed the students approved culture that is an eminent part of the national multicultural curriculum.
That is the real "cultural appropriation", irrespective of who is hired. It does not matter that the dancing Indians are actual Indians.
Brilliant.
