A Part of Our Heritage: Freaky Flame Demons and Magic Trees
Friday, April 25th, 2008On Canadian television we have Heritage Minutes, which are one minute spots, aired during commercial breaks, that are meant to highlight an important person and/or event in Canadian history. Except for one spot, which is meant to terrify young children:
Gee, thank you, CBC, for airing this during the breaks in Sesame Street. It’s not like a freaky, flying and flaming demon would haunt the dreams of a little girl, eh!? Eh, you bastards!?
Also, I object to this being one of the A Part of Our Heritage series, seeing as it isn’t an actual event that happened. I don’t even know what the Hell it’s supposed to be about. It’s just some weird story about antiwar tree hugging noble savages.
Apparently, it has something to due with the formation of the Iroquois Confederacy, but it’s a complete misrepresentation of the actually events. The formation of the Iroquois Confederacy was mostly political in origin and was not, in fact, in any way mystical.
