I just didn't happen to know about it until my aunt told me a third cousint did a family tree recently and identified a few distant relatives who are indigenous, so it was interesting for me is all. I knew I was partly Quebecois but I didn't know about the Habitant part either.

It's just really visible now. I looked at r/Canada a few times and I'm just horrified at what they say. I'm not saying it wasn't present but they're normalizing saying deport people.
