A Sentiment Analysis of The First Nations Water Crisis

In this project, we were instructed to connect public sentiments to sociopolitical imaginaries about Indigenous peoples and offer a counter-narrative to these colonial mythologies, through researching the written forum on social media. We were then told to produce a visual representation of this analysis.  

Our objective was to identify the affective states of commenters in news stories about the First Nations water crisis and determine how they are connected to settler-colonial mythologies about Indigenous peoples.
