\u00ab […] je ne peux m’emp\u00eacher de me demander si l’omission de r\u00e9v\u00e9ler et d’enseigner les horreurs commises par les anc\u00eatres des Am\u00e9ricains et des Canadiens caucasiens contre les peuples des Premi\u00e8res Nations d’Am\u00e9rique du Nord […] est une dissimulation intentionnelle ou une indication que ces personnes gardent toujours \u00e0 l’esprit la notion que la vie d’une personne des Premi\u00e8res Nations n’a aucune valeur. \u00bb – Extrait de l’\u00e9pilogue, Daniel PaulPremi\u00e8re traduction en fran\u00e7ais du c\u00e9l\u00e8bre livre de Daniel Paul, We were not the savages (Fernwood Publishing). Paru pour la premi\u00e8re fois en 1993, ce premier livre d’historiographie autochtone en est \u00e0 sa 3e \u00e9diti on, et incorpore les recherches continues de l’auteur. Il montre clairement que les horreurs de l’histoire continuent de hanter les Premi\u00e8res Nations aujourd’hui… mais aussi tous.tes les Canadien.nes.<\/p>\n
<p>As a person of First Nation ancestry I cannot help but wonder if the failure of Caucasian Americans and Canadians to reveal and teach about the horrors their ancestors carried out against North American First Nation Peoples is a deliberate cover-up, or an indication they hold within their minds a notion the life of a First Nation person is valueless\u2014not worthy of human considerations. The latter is probably the more plausible, because it is an unchallengeable fact that the crimes against humanity committed against our peoples over the centuries by people of European descent are not viewed with the same abhorrence by Caucasians that such crimes against other races of people are viewed. If such were the case there would be unconditional condemnation of it, and the knowledge would be readily available and taught in schools. -FROM THE INTRODUCTION <\/p>
