Key Messages When invited to identify what they know about Aboriginal people, Memorial students reveal racism and stereotypes, and cannot describe the specificity and diversity of Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Those able to perform best on our test tend to be less prejudiced. Although the students perform badly on our test, most consider it a good measure of their knowledge.
