How is it stolen land, if it never belonged to anyone to begin with? Saying its stolen means that at one point it was 'owned' by someone else. I'm all for native land reclamation, but doesn't the idea of owning land go against our world view of being 'one' with the land - involved in a egalitarian relationship with the land.
@DClean Becuz, in the European world the first to get the land owns it, our way said everything was for every1, the europeans make us follow thier laws, now they dont want to follow thier onw laws, and remember our law say fight to the death so, you dont want us to really follow our laws, we will and have follow european laws. they need to also follow them
All I hear on television, aside from APTN, is how shitty reserve life is and, beyond some carvers and vineyards only now being created, the endless and almost pointless ongoing dispute to solve ancient land-disputes, something that progresses slower than a tortoise. What IS lacking, is open and positive dialogue--in the open circles, among the general public, that allows people to see beyond the stereotypes and to get past the common ignorance...
@gerdunga The problem today, is that so many people are in the dark, both sides. There is no common public understanding, it's first nations -vs- government. And that isn't exactly a winning recipe for success. Yes, f*ck the government, but that shouldn't also automatically mean "f*ck everyone who isn't first nations" as I see with some people. There are a lot of people with similar values, maybe not on the tar sands or in the big cities, and it isnt hard to write an article in the newspaper
What we really need to see is a noticeable contribution to local and national newspapers, or on youtube. Done professionally in English, and then you have easy access to a sizeable population which can easily influence the government. It carries a lot more weight. Just look at the incident with a Surrey bus driver, how he was playing a game on his PDA, someone made a cellphone video and put it on youtube and a new law was passed ASAP. People spoke and that public condemnation pushed the govt
I wish the racism between white people and first nations would end, forever. I'm white and I've had first nations people be racist towards me for no reason at all... it goes both ways unfortunately. I never known anyone white whose parents taught them to be racist. We could all use a potluck, between people who aren't utterly intolerant of other people who resemble someone that looks like them, and sit down and get to know each other, and build a constructive future collectively.
I don't know about in america, but in Canada, post-secondary education isn't easy to get if you're first nations and relying on the government's hand-out, which doesn't include higher education money at all basically, only enough for a small few. And you'd be hard pressed to successfully generalize all first nations across Canada, it's nations, not nation. In BC I don't see any smoke shops going up first nations reserves, I see campgrounds in some places, never been to Ontario though...
i am mohawk guess what im just a ten year old little girl who is fuckkin pissed with your choice of words you fuckkin racist piece of shit! guess what go take a shower and wash off all that dumb ass shit thats in you mouth! by the way the cheif is my uncle
People like this guy goodmourn1ng have problems. Hes probably only racist because his dad is, or because his friends are, and he probab;y can't understand sympathy or empathy. You see, he is really deep down, inside, proabably very quiet and sad, so he tries to be loud and say horrible things to try to feel like he's not. But don't worry, we're not all like him. I'm white, and i'm learning about the natives at university right now. My teacher is a native. Stay strong. :)
It's pathetic to see so much pristine wilderness go up in smoke as companies with lots of money easily get their way for developing land.
What? More money means more taxes, even if it's not in the best interest of long-term planning?
And what, settling a land claim isn't tax lucrative? Go figure!
Everyone wants to own land, why not converse land. With say, burial sites, etc, aside, wouldn't it be better if 2-3,000 acres remained intact than 100sq km housing surrounded by strip malls?
First off, it's funny that you automatically assume I'm first nations. Yeah, you're right there were agreements made a long time, but..., and here's the big catch, lots of them aren't even recognized any more. They're mostly in dispute between government and parties that have little record aside from verbal memory, which has been partly annihilated due to mostly not being allowed to speak your own language.
okay this has gone on long enough get the guns out and shoot it out because nothing else is working.or go the way of insurgents and start bombing shit either put up or shut up.
Occupy your native lands, honestly you sound very racist. If we both live in this country and we both grew up poor (which I did)than we should both have equal rights no more no less.
Apparently you misunderstand the situation. most people aren't suggesting non native citizens should pack their bags and move back to Europe(or Africa, or Asia etc). That is obsurd. However, with regards to all lands within the North American continent, the underlying presumptive title belongs to natives, yet we are forced into colonial situation still today. Whites are the majority of the gov. in Canada/USA. ALL people are entitled to equal rights. In the gov. eyes that doesnt apply to natives.
The natives were conquered much like they conquered each other... its time to integrate into the rest of Canada and stop blaming the white man for all your ills.
Nonsense. Nations fought prior to european arrival however it was for necessity rather than greed which is what fueled white desire to steal all we have and rape the land while they were doing it. Both Canada and United States have been exercising genocidal policies toward indigenous people for centuries and continue in many ways to do it today. Nobody should be subjected to this type of treatment, not our families, not your families, not anybody's families.
The special treatment and the lack of integration of natives is why we are in our current predicament. More needs to be done to encourage natives to get off the reserves as the current model obviously doesn't work.
Whatever the solution may be, it's not to assimilate our community into non native communities and lose what is left of our culture, traditions, language etc. Wounds take time to heal, Canada and the United States did alot of harm to our people and in many ways continue to do so. The attitudes of many non natives is improving, the gov. needs to understand they can't just do whatever they like and expect people won't defend what is rightfully theirs.

When I see all these comments about natives beeing terrorist and such,i say in my head,boy am I happy to not be white,say what you want about us,but don't say it in my face,be a man and bitch about us on Youtube.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I wouldn't go so far as to call natives "terrorists" but I would definitely say you cultivate a culture of "victimization". I know a LOT of native people and not one, NOT ONE does anything positive with their life. If they are aren't busy complaining about white people they are getting bombed or stealing cars. Clean up your community and you'll get my respect.
This sort of reply is an expression of how the education system has left out a big part of history and politics, and even how economic perspectives play a role in the way we socialize with (and thus educate) others. History is speaking through actions of resistance, but what is key is to keep a firm grip on the origins of these situations. Part of resisting is to keep a clear account and thoughtfulness of their own history and how it was influenced by Westerners, since they are lost.
What makes you think anyone wants your respect? You speak as if YOUR respect is so important or something. Im native, and I hold a full time job. My brother also holds a full time job. Everyone in my family works. Just because you choose to notice the natives who drink and act like shit, doesnt mean they represent the majority of us. There are native musicians, artists, lawyers, dr's etc. Yet you choose to focus on the negative. Grow up and open ur eyes. I doubt if you know many natives anyways.
I am sorry but other people from war torn countries such as Poland get nothing for compensation and they do fine. Why is it that you get more hand outs than anyone else in the world and you are still complaining. No one owes you anything so get over it. It was a long time ago move past it already and stop being so weak.
It's true that there have been wars in Poland and that Polish citizen don't receive reparations. True Poland is no longer a territory occupied by a foreign government so the comparison does not exactly fit.
Chadwick, first of all, "traditional" "war torn" countries are STILL countries. Countries which played major roles in WWII and the countries victimized are still countries and most, if not all are still governed under their own government body. The situation concerning first nations people, and the canadian/american gov's are different as we are still in a colonial situation today in 2008. By the way, what was a long time ago? European descendants still occupy our native lands today.
You cant blame "the Mohawks" for everything it was the five nations who worked as a unit. alot of time it was members from all or a few of our nations in a war party the white man didnt know how to tell us apart so he would always say and assume "mohawks"..... the neutrals like the tobaccos, nantikoks, ball deer, and eries were beaten and absorbed, families who carry these peoples blood still exist today in our communities... they werent "exterminated" so technically it is still our land...
Thats pretty clever there buddy... but like you said its a "native" way something you clearly dont understand and shouldnt pretend to.... Your looking at it from white mans perspective... you should talk to some native people before you make assumptions, just dont go about it like you have been on "youtube" cuz you'll get whooped boy
no we are peacefull but we dont like being pushed around and being lebaled as "terrorists" and saying things like "Lets beat the shit out of them".... and are you suggesting that native people are "WASTED" all the time because you knew one who was?? because i know alot of non native ppl who get wasted all the time to, anyway man say watever you want this is gettin old =~peace~>
She makes a huge mistake in bringing Palestine into this discussion. Native Canadians have refused to lower themselves to the level of blowing up kids on buses. We never have, we never will.
You make a huge mistake in assuming all types of people are the same. Grow a little more and don't let the non-natives brainwash you into thinking everyone else is a terrorist just because someone disgarees with them.
Once again the native people are complaining, give us a break you get monthly cheques ,you wait until some developes the land before you put in your land claims, Make something of yourself instead of blaming the white folks - look at yourselves instead, get educated make a difference earn a living pay taxes like the rest of us, Instead of living on hand outs.
When we started NativeNet('89) our first surprise was First Nations everywhere. People struggling with these same issues. Some were black, some asian, Laplanders are ash-white and blue-eyed.
Yes, this isn't about colour. This is about surviving a juggernaut known globally for trampling any who do not accept and adopt its philosophy; only an accident of time and place has you now riding ON that juggernaut. But trust me, luck has a habit of changing.
people come here from war torn countries with no money and no assets, they come here and pay taxes like everyone else, and end up starting their own businesses and becoming successful, if you don't have to pay taxes and you are being given handouts you have NO excuse to not make something of yourself.
When did you care about people? You're just using that as a lame excuse to justify your ignorance and racism. Grow some real balls and you get a job, an education, and stop worrying about the original peoples of this land.
It is sad that we have terrorists like you in Canada. If your poor get off your butts, get an education and get a good job. Poor in Canada is a choice!!!
European native people, yea, there are such, we are called white, but we are really beige and pink, (ha! color not an issue) watch all 8 segments of this video. Why? Because you will learn about values, principles, human principles that support survival and evolution. About love and courage and understanding as it has NOT been removed from the lives of a culture. Yes, culture, as if Americans actually know what that is.
I don't see any Mohawks there, all I see are half-breeds.
