When I was in elementary school (1951-58), the Battle of the Plains of Abraham
was remembered in a song, The Maple Leaf Forever. I can’t remember if we sang
it or just saw it in a film. The spirit of the song, as I remember it, was
that the British had defeated the French and so people in Quebec should
renounce their national claims and be content to be part of Canada, even if
French was relegated to an inferior status.
The First Nations people hardly entered into our thinking at all. It took
decades for that to change.
