A Canadian publisher is recalling a children's educational workbook because it "does not provide an accurate depiction" of how Europeans settled on Indigenous lands.
The workbook describes the dispossession of First Nations people as a voluntary exchange, in which "First Nations people agreed to move to different areas to make room" for European settlers.
The publisher pulled the workbook after excerpts went viral on Facebook.
Destiny Samaroo, who studies at York University in Toronto, told BuzzFeed Canada she was helping a young girl with her workbook when she came across the whitewashed history.
Samaroo said she was angry with how the workbook described Canada's past.
"How are we to effectively bring about a shift in the views and treatment of First Nations peoples if possible future leaders of our country are being blindly fed this nonsense as a 'supplement' to their school education?" she said.
People flooded the publisher's Facebook page to call out the inaccurate information in the workbook.
