Assignment 6

1. Why is this documentary called "The Canary Effect?"
The Indian plays much the same role in our American society that the Jews played in Germany. Like the miner's canary, the Indian marks the shifts from fresh air to poison gas in our political atmosphere; and our treatment of Indians, even more than our treatment of other minorities, reflects the rise and fall in our democratic faith.

2. Why is it ridiculous to say that Columbus discovered America?
It is ridiculous to say that Columbus discovered America, because the indian already lived here. But the rest of the world didn't know that America exist. Columbus only told the rest of the world what he had seen. He saw the indian living in there teepees. Columbus set as first foreigner a foot in America. Hereafter he returns to Europe and told the rest of world the existence of America. 

3. What have you learnt from watching this film? Explain it in detail.
What we have learnt form " The Canary Effect". The indians were treated really badly in the past. There was very severe discrimination. In the worst case they were killed. There are even 25000 indians assassinated. America is not proud of there actions. Therefor they are covering it op by not telling this piece of history to the new generation.
