Problem: Imagine you learned Canadian history differently, eliminating the distinction between "prehistory" and "history" to give equal balance to all periods of history. Here in Canada, much of our history is Native history alone. If you live in Ontario, your history is at least 10,000 years long. The first Europeans arrived here about 400 years ago.
What is the percentage that is Native history? Do the math!
A. 4 percent of your history is Native history before the coming of the Europeans.
B. 69 percent of your history is Native history before the coming of the Europeans.
C. 96 percent of your history is Native history before the coming of the Europeans
D. 40 percent of your history is Native history before the coming of the Europeans.
