Some Famous People called Duncan Scott
Duncan Campbell Scott
Duncan Campbell Scott (August 2, 1862 – December 19, 1947) was a Canadian civil servant, and poet and prose writer. With Charles G.D. Roberts, Bliss Carman, and Archibald Lampman, he is classed as one of Canada's Confederation Poets.
A career civil servant, Scott served as deputy superintendent of the Department of Indian Affairs from 1913 to 1932. He supported the government's assimilationist policy toward Canada's First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. Today he is known more for his implementation of this policy, especially the mandatory education of children, than for his poetry. Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission has characterized this policy as cultural genocide.
