According to Misao Dean, Professor of English at the University of Victoria, the canoe can be a symbol of colonialism, imperialism and genocide due to history. She also accused the canoers of cultural appropriation because they are primarily white men and have a privileged place in society.
In a radio interview for CBC Radio, which wasn’t picked by the Internet until several months later, she claimed “we have a whole set of narratives that make the canoe into a kind of morally untouchable symbol, something that seems natural, that seems ordinary, and seems to promote values that we ascribe to.”

No. MY ancestors invented fire, and y'all owe me licensing fees. Just giving you fair warning.
Don’t know about canoes but the paddle was my Momma’s priviledge!
What?
I felt sorry for the chief. Not only did they have to cancel their "Tribal Days" because the snow froze solid, but he threw his back out trying to manually pull-start his snowmobile because the extreme cold killed the battery.
Same goes for black males that play modern sports invented by white males.
Since we’re playing silly games, let’s play seriously eh lib trash?
Oh yes, I like this.
Add black women who attempt to go blonde!
How about any non-European who drives a car or rides a motorcycle? If we, of European descent, are forbidden the canoe shouldn't we keep the automobile?
Not only that, but the Indians did a horrible act of cultural appropriation when they started using the white man’s EEVIL GUNS.
Canada is 80% white, so most of any group there will be white.
The idea that it's only rich old white men who paddle canoes, though, is a silly one.
You can see, though, how this stuff almost writes itself automatically.
LOL. MIne too.
LOOOOOL! So true!
So Indians aren’t allowed to ride horses, then?
Wait! Can he have one of those? Doesn't a snowmobile have an internal combustion engine invented by a European?
Seriously folks, the left talks about racism, look how far this BS goes.
We have a canoe at pop’s lake cabin. It reeks as well, but more of spilt PBR (dad) and Jack Daniels (me).
What do you have when you tie two Bull Boats and a Kayak together?
Dirty minds need not answer.
does she travel’in cars and planes?
maybe she should only drive female created modes of transportation.
Any professor who uses the phrases “cultural appropriation”, “white privilege”, “patriarchy” or the rest of the race/gender studies vocabulary is a threat to the (formerly) successful culture that we appropriated from the entire world. They are ignorant and useless, and don’t even realize how useless they are.
What we actually did was blend the best from the entire world to create a land of wealth, freedom, and opportunity. What the left did was crush that freedom and turn opportunity into entitlement. We need to stop feeding the beast, especially since it’s our blood that these parasites suck to survive.
Me Too.
It is just a “fill in the template”.
You can to the same with any object.
Notice this is an english professor. She fills the position as someone who destroys the language to advance party goals.
Right out Orwell’s 1984.
