Actually the correct term is Indian. I can tell you have no indian blood in you.
Do you believe in privilege? White privilege, etc?

/Sigh.
Nope I don’t, though I’ve met many, especially in Ontario's north. And work with quite a few.
And I can tell you don’t understand that not all “Indians” are Cree, or Ojibwe, or Métis or Inuit. Or dozens more, upto and including around the globe. I can also tell you have not done much reading on the subject.

on these searches. Were there not a lot found out west? Again, 150-100 years ago. Life was extremely different. It’s highly unlikely they had trucks to carry the dead far. It’s sort of known ( I think) many of the relatives were not close, etc. Is it unreasonable to assume given its 1875, or 1905 and 8 kids just died of TB, attitudes were different (aka what reason would they have to think it’s “wrong” ), the middle of nowhere. There’s a field over yonder….

On one of my trips way up North. There was an old abandoned Hudson Bay trading post sort of nearby If you went to the area, and looked hard, you could still find some of the foundations.
Years ago, an old almost falling apart journal was found. I think they called it a manifest. Each day, the Captain logged “Aug 30th 1833”. Weather ABC. Nails 1,000, fish X pounds, Z pounds (whatever) vegetables Y pounds. Firewood X cords. etc
Joe assigned to cut wood
Henry tend the nets
Bob cut his foot off with an axe ( not exaggerating well a bit but it was severe I remember that entry)
Feb 23rh..weather, supplies. Assignments,
An Indian boy came in. He told us his sister, mom, dad caught the fever in January, died a few days later. He had to wait for decent weather to walk X miles through 3 foot snow…
Every day, from Aug, through to about Feb or March.
fascinating read.

Disease from Europeans killed off 50-90% of the indigenous population.
Controversial?
GPR and lidar can be used to determine anomalies such as ground that been dug up at some time. No one ever said that they had the ability to see bones under the ground.
Median average is a misleading statistic. It means half of the total number in the group are at or above a specific amount, and half are at or below. There are a lot more very low income White people, compared to those Asian groups listed.
As a person with a chronic illness who also works in health care, it definitely exists in this area. My clients have endured some mistreatment you wouldn't believe. I have been treated like a customer in terms of receiving care and watched others be treated like a nuisance or an inmate.
This just in, nonwhite people live more people to a house, surprise surprise, SHOCKING. Imagine using household income as a metric of anything without information like, how many people live in the home, how many rooms are in the home, home many children are in the home... etc etc etc
5 people making $30k/yr/person living in a one bedroom are obviously equally as well off as a couple who make $150k combined.
nice try though lol
We are all so very shocked that the ethnic group known for generational households have a high household income.
Wow, this thread is still going….
Haven’t read the whole thing, and I may have said this before, even in this thread, but if you are a white guy like me, in this world (even in Canada where things are not as disparate as other places in the world)would you ever consider trading places with someone non-white, or not male? I am a fucking pretty liberal guy, and from a self interest point of view? Fuck no.

Hey clown shoes,
This just in, the world isn't fair. Do you think if you went to India, that they would be bitching that white people were not making enough money there? NO.
Your racism toward white people is showing. You think you are "educated" but I'm reality you come off as an airhead.
Are you okay? All I said is these are useless because they do not have enough information, you sound really angry that someone pointed out logic, I know logic makes racists really angry, but at least try to act like a normal person, damn.
I'm sick of clowns like you insinuating that white people are privileged just because of the colour of their skin. You realize how racist that is?
you'll need to pay me my hourly rate to get me to pretend to be baited by this extremely terrible attempt at baiting.
Nah, you're not my type if you think that white people are privileged for being born but you keep doing you. You should give a portion of your rates to an underrepresented group if you feel so strongly. Or is it all a facade to make you appear to be a social justice warrior?
