They were probably not behind the movement in the beginning. However, are they now supporting and facilitating Idle No More to promote their own agenda.
Many countries joined England during the war.....even the US finally came in. When people have a common enemy....it often happens. It's called a Fasces, from the latin fascis meaning 'bundle of sticks' during the Roman days. (the Romans had an axe handle and axe head wrapped as well in the bundle). It means 'strength throught unity'. The enemy may be able to break one stick but it is much more difficult if not impossible to break a bundle.
Some people couldn't pour water out of a boot if the instructions were on the heel
Canada needs to work with natives to first helping them reserve their land rights they next not giving them money but helping each and every reserve find ways for being self sustainable and producing jobs within the community.
So do you think the Native people should just forget about the agreements and treaties and the money owed them for the continued use of ‘their’ land?
I personally have no problem with First Nations people going into various forms of business and more power to them.
Is money important sure of course it is but is their children being educated and learning what hard work and providing for your family
It’s not just the ‘money’. There is far more to it than that. It’s about culture and land and heritage. They do not want to become what has happened to people in other countries through the ages who have been absorbed and changed ‘completely’ into another dominating society.
Some reservations the people do live in what we would consider poverty…..and those Natives there probably consider it the same in comparison to the majority of our lives. The thing is it is there decision that their society is more important than themselves. It is not unlike our own when they go off to war to protect their society and people. During the Blitz in England during WW2 thousands of people died. Their homes and buildings were destroyed and their families and even children died. Despite what history has said as it is often written by the victors……many people just wanted to give up. To them half a loaf was better than no loaf at all. To the Germans, well they applauded these people and said it was good that they were thinking of their families and children and Germany guaranteed them a good life…under German rule. The Brits…..decided differently.
When it comes to the First Nations people, each Reservation and each situation has to be looked at based on their own particular situation. I have no idea how much money each Rez gets. A thousand dollars to a Rez in southern Ontario or BC is probably worth 3 or 4 hundred to a Reservation up north. Houses, road repair, schools, meeting halls, etc etc etc are all more costly up north, from the material being used to the distance the material has to travel. I could go on from how the money is distributed to interference on Native land to Corporations that have not lived up to their ends of agreements, to regulations by Indian Affairs that hinder Native people….but it would be too lengthy and like many other facts and proof of the past….would be ignored.
New school coming 2013 to appawatiskat
I believe it has been 5 to 8 years they have been asking for one.
Do you know when they were bought? How they were bought? Or even if they were actually bought? Or if the government is to provide the school based on a treaty. No all, unless you can provide proof.
I guess you don't fish.
