Canadian school textbook in 2017. Unsurprisingly it has some other revisionist history in there about First Nation people. The one called out in the article could almost be an Always Sunny joke it's so incredibly dark:

The book informed children that First Nations peoples "moved to areas called reserves, where they could live undisturbed by the hustle and bustle of the settlers"
