Native Protest Day

[hunter001]

Wait, we get to live on WHOSE land? It certainly wasn't there's...remember: all native north americans came here originally over the alaskan land bridge so it wasn't really thier's to begin with. COupled with the fact that I would like to see a NAME on a document that said "x acreage" belongs to Joe Screaming Eagle and then I'd have to see a ancestorial list and DNA testing to see if anyone alive today is related to Joe.

So basically your saying if a people don't have a written recorded history it is ok to come and move them off their land and claim it as yours?

Let say the native Canaidna came on ice/land bridge and settled. That means they have no claim on the land they settled on?

There are hundred of recorded documents of natives settlements and there are hundred of land treaties that the Canadian government signed in good faith and never lived up to.

Are they blocking roads into casino's too?

... I doubt they would ever block access to their monthly government cheques?

That would be to your detriment, paisan, I've probably created more wealth than most of you reactionaries. So rant away in your cubicles.

Btw, nice ass.

I don't get it - first you wanna go, now you are rich, wanna stay, and have more money than me?

BTW, what the hell is a "paisan"? Is that like a cockroach?

You have succeeded in confusing me. Congrats.

I am sure there a lot of courageous Natives but I doubt many of these blockades ones are...if they were, why would they hide behind masks like terrorists?

just get the facts before you look stupid....but then again....it good to see why this problem is alllowed to continue.

I am not a cut and paste guy, we've got too many of those on terb. But, you don't need to research Caledonia to realize that their way of living is a disaster. However, they are not willing to make a change themselves, they continously look for others to take care of them.

Some of them wear masks because they are not aboriginal people at all, they are regular Canadians who like making trouble. They are like OPAC protestors or G8 protestors or anything somewhat violent and anarchistic. Some are true believers, but the rest are just people who like violent confrontations with authority. It is not that they are brave people standing up for their beliefs, it is what they enjoy, some of them anyway.
