The research found that many Canadians were never properly educated about indigenous or Métis people, throughout school, households, or various institutions. Much of what happened to Canada's indigenous people were “swept under the rug” by the Canadian government and Canadian people. Ignorance and bias exist due to a lack of education or empathy to see native Canadians as fellow human beings/citizens. Not unique to Canadians, misinformation, and confusion exist for immigrants to Canada because they have no way of learning about indigenous people or their history. Worsening the problem is the reserves, acting like a ghetto the reserves segregate the indigenous people to sections of land that are far away from Canadian cities often from centers of activity. They are vastly underserviced by the Canadian government.
