Document Summary
Canadian identity and essentric is apart of who we are. So the north is mythologized by those who live in the cities. But many people have no plans to visit the north although it is apart of our identity. The north is seen as remote and farther away from many places. You can"t have the north without the south and the south without the north, we don"t much speak on the south. The north is always perceived to be remote. Northern areas are always synomis with a major native population. The barren lands as though it is empty when that is not the case, full with peoples, animals. Often colonialism arrived in the north much later, wealth is extracted from the north but is not lived on which is a classic colonialism. Is not imaged as a place, it just is there.
