OTTAWA — The Native Women\u0027s Association of Canada says it is hoping to make ugly truths about the ongoing genocide of Indigenous Peoples easier for students to see and understand with a graphic guide that could form the basis of school curriculums.

In the four years that have passed since, she said, only two of the 231 calls for justice that accompanied that report have been implemented.The group said it plans to send the new graphic guide to every member of Parliament as well as to provincial ministers of education.

The booklet looks something like a comic book and lays out the legal argument that Canada has committed genocide in colourful and simple-to-follow illustrations.Article content The 10-page book also dissects misunderstood elements of genocide to explain how it applies in Canada, said lawyer Fannie Lafontaine, who authored the booklet.

Lafontaine was also the lead writer of a supplementary report on genocide for the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
