Because They Are Different

This short documentary explores issues surrounding the integration of Canadian Indigenous people into social institutions such as the non-Indigenous school systems and workforce. Questions arise about the viability and desirability of integration, and old prejudices are revealed in interviews and commentary from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians.
