Description
From the CBC Digital Archives, online: http://www.cbc.ca/archives/entry/canada-is-actually-tricultural:
The Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism has forgotten one of the country's founding nations -- Native Canadians. Mrs. Monteur of the National Indian Council insists that rather than being bicultural, Canada is actually "tricultural." Monteur addresses commission members on their cross-country tour, as heard in this 1963 CBC Radio recording. Commission members also hear a humorous account from Walter Bossey of the Canadian Mosaic Federation. He tells the story of his large family and their various intercultural marriages. His third-born son, for example, married a Jewish immigrant. And one of his daughters married a Canadian from Scotland. After submitting these as arguments for why his country is not just French and English, he asks: "Who are we now?"
