The impacts of media on the socialization of people is more significant today than at some other period ever of Canada. The media holds exceptional power in making and keeping up roles of people and gatherings that are frequently acknowledged in the public eye. The creation of these roles, regardless of whether it be through news, motion pictures or TV, can possibly reaffirm prejudice through existing stereotypes or to make new roles.

It has likewise been prescribed that journalists need to more likely teach themselves about the historical backdrop of Aboriginal people undertakings so as to keep away from a portion of the confusions and encircling that happens. At last, post-optional instruction and preparing of journalists and other media disciplines need to teach their understudies about the affectability encompassing investigating on Aboriginal people affairs to keep away from these stereotypes.
