Mr. Benjoe's Presentation

Mr. Benjoe's presentation was very interesting. It was about the Cree people and how they should be referred to as. Mr. Benjoe explained a lot about it and he shared to us something about himself. He explained them clearly and I was able to understand his presentation very well. I learned that "native" people shouldn't be called "indians" because that is very inappropriate and that they are not. They are supposed to be called according to the group of people that they belong. Mr. Benjoe also told us about some words and definitions about his culture. I also learned about where he came from and about his name. Surprisingly, he said that his name was just made up and it originated from something.
