• Empathy vs. sympathy
• Sympathy is "at least", trying to make things better
• Empathy is connection, I'm so sorry that this happened
INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
"Practicing unique traditions, they retain social, cultural, economic and political characteristics that are
distinct from those of the dominant societies in which they live. Spread across the world from the Arctic
to the South Pacific, they are the descendants- according to a common definition- of those who
inhabited areas when people of different ethnic origins arrived"
• Alfred and Corntassel (2005) argued that "Aboriginal" is "a powerful assault on Indigenous
idetities"… deied the state so alloed the state to otol ho ad ho is Idigeous
Important Terms
Stereotypes- often offensive generalization of a person
Racism- the superiority of a race, often biologically based (goal is assimilation)
Ethnocentrism- judging a culture based on your own culture and cultural ideals
Pan-Indian Approach- not recognizing diversity in culture
Defining vs. Identifying
