Maureen Lux is an accomplished historian who specializes in the history of the medical treatment of Indigenous people in Canada.
Her research has found evidence that Canada knew that medical experiments to be done on Inuit were ethically dubious... even by 1960s standards.
From 1967 to 1973, scientists descended on the Inuit community of Igloolik to conduct medical experiments. This included grafting skin from one Inuk to another, leaving lifelong scars. Paul Quassa, former premier of Nunavut, explains that historical trauma left the Inuit unable to say no.
Reuben Garang, with Immigration Partnership Winnipeg, says newcomers arrive to Canada with little understanding of Indigenous people, often picking up negative stereotypes.
