This song reflects on how negative, dangerous attitudes and stereotypes can spread through a community, and the damage they do. I grew up next to a reserve and reflecting on and acknowledging the prevalence and the impacts of racism was very sobering. At that time, when I was growing up, there was not a lot of dialogue about the multi-generational mistreatment and resulting trauma experienced by Indigenous people, and it certainly wasn’t addressed in the school curriculum. Of course, we know it hasn’t gone away at all so the song is also a call to action to myself to do better and do more to help in the journey toward reconciliation. Hopefully, telling this part of the story is a step in the right direction.
