Rudy Wiebe's novel titled “Peace Shall Destroy Many” is about a small Mennonite community and the people who live within it. This book brings to the surface many issues that occurred in the small community, including injustice and prejudice towards Aboriginal people. Most people in this particular Mennonite community treat them as if they were inhuman; without even referring to them by their names. They don't respect their heritage, their lifestyle, or the way they do things. Finally, this novel shows a great example of how the Mennonites were more interested in following the strict rules of the church than in trying to help and evangelize the Aboriginal peoples. "The "half-breed" to Hal was simply a kind of being who did certain things himself. He was not allowed to do so because they were "bad." Usually, when speaking with his elders, he was careful to avoid phrases that might capture a sensitive adult ear, but then always forgot what they used to call 'bad' (Wiebe 8).” From the beginning of this novel there is no respect for the Metis people. They are called the "half-breeds", the people in this community do not think they deserve the respect to even call them by their proper name “immediately” that the tone of voice even when mentioning Aborigines or Métis is said with pure disgust Hal is just a kid, and already the readers realize what ideas have been put into his head about Aborigines and Métis. . It clearly says: "because they were bad (Wiebe 8)". This is already a humane way of treating people. It shouldn't matter where you come from, who your parents are or what you did in the past; middle of paper… we are precious and deserve to be treated with respect. No one should ever be treated the way “races” were, it is completely unacceptable. In this novel the author gets to the root of treating Aboriginal people justly, but readers may also get the impression that Rudy Wiebe is trying to address a larger problem that still applies to people and their lives today. Rudy Wiebe may be, in an indirect way, trying to address the problem of what we now know as bullying. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. Background, lifestyle, friends, family, race, religion should not determine how a person deserves to be treated. In conclusion, Wiebe's novel shows clear examples of how unjustly Aboriginal and Métis people were treated. Through this, it sends a subtle message to the reader that all people deserve respect and to be treated equally.
