Why is it important to know about the struggles and realities of the indigenous people?

Explanation:

Why is it so important to learn about Indigenous people? First of all, this culture is an integral part of cultures of numerous countries, but, unfortunately, people know nothing about it because they do not get the necessary education. This is why in Canada, for example, the courses in Indigenous Studies have become so popular and now are offered at every single Canadian institution. According to Indigenous Studies professors, Canadians are very ignorant in this sense (not that i mean it) , and taking this course makes a huge difference because it helps them get rid of all the wrong stereotypes they have about the native population of their own country. It is interesting how people tend to learn so much about foreign countries and exotic nations but forget to look around and see how exotic and exciting their own country and culture are.
