Quebec government launches new awareness campaign on Indigenous issues
The government spent $2 million and visited the 11 nations to produce the ad.
Lafrenière insists that this is not a one-off attempt to better educate the public, but instead, it’s part of an ongoing campaign.”We never pretend that the publicity by itself would change everything,” he said. Lafrenière insists announcements were also made last year to improve the school curriculum on Indigenous affairs and better educate students.”In Quebec, we’re still not very well represented in the history books and people still have no idea of what we stand for,” Joe Delaronde, spokesperson for the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke, told Global News.
