The Canoe and Maple Leaf are to Canadians what the Bald Eagle is to Americans.

The professor is simply asking we get the wax out of our ears and hear the voices/concerns/history of the indigenous people of Canada.

In the US we have sports teams with names which our indigenous people find offensive.

My interpretation of her talk is to not forget all the canoe can symbolize.

We nearly blasted the bald eagle into extinction. What does that say about Americans?
