  • This shit really needs to stop. Leave the past in the past, the government doesn't care about any of us. Aboriginals claim to want equality but all they do is segregate themselves from the rest of Canada. It's always white man this native issues that. Natives IMO are hypocrites why can't we all just work together regardless of ethnicity? This is why my philosaphy is "Equality or GTFO" we all live on this earth so lets work together as a whole and not as seperate groups.

  • sorry for your loss

  • i say: the whole europe should apologize for the genocide among the whole world...and that will not be enough...and that also goes for the bastard nations of england. i went to canada and the natives are now left to drugs, homeless unless they decide incorporate to the suicide rithms of a "good life" in other ways, a life of marketing and consumism...i have nothing to say that nobody knows about australia and south africa... the same with my ancestors here in america.

  • Did u know that Natives/non-Natives employees and the private sector who live & work on a Reservation/Reserve pay taxes to the Tribe and to the Federal Government? Did you that any little help from the Government a Native gets does not match the way Whites recieve assistance? Did u know that White business receive corporate welfare? Mistermielke you don't know what you are talking about.

  • Did you know that Tribes are sovereign nations and operate businesses? Did you know Tribes are a sovereign Governments and they don't pay taxes they collect them? Did you know that when a Tribe makes a profit they spend it on education, infrastructure and other programs to provide opportunities for their members so they'll almost have the same opportunities has a White...Did u know that a sovereign entity like a state cannot tax another business or Government in a sovereign state or Tribe.

  • Sorry to hear this happened, and I agree an apology is not enough.

    On another subject, does anyone else see the faces in the woods at 1:53? Wow! Ghosts or overlapping of film?

  • Canadian Government was fucked up then and still fucked up today.

  • Appology NOT accepted!!!!

  • Do you people honestly believe this guy? Sure, you've heard of a minority of Catholic priests and other clerics molesting largely boys, and you have heard of female public school teachers having sex with physically mature boys, but have you ever heard of a female teacher sexually molesting a four year old boy? No.

    And you know what? Bad stuff happens, you don't walk around your whole rest of your life in a funk because of something that happened decades ago. Grow up.

  • @Gulfporter You need to stop sticking up for these sick Pedophiles...Don't get offended it has nother to do with you...Whites are the ones coming on here and talking smack...I don't care who you are, if a person goes through this it may affect them for the rest of their lives.

    Lady u are good with the insults...We are a growing People and our Capital and Culture is Growing...People need some kind of Culture so they can be grounded mentally physically and spiritally.

  • @Gulfporter You keep getting offended by this Video...You must be proud of them they way you keep making excuses for them.

  • @Gulfporter Are you stupid man?? Get to know your history, Male and Female church workers molested NATIVE children ON RECORD...its not a conspiricy its on record...insenstive idiot

  • @Gulfporter dude u what would u know, did u go to those schools. ive seen people traumatized for life from those schools.

  • @GANGSTAR604

    No, I didn't go to a school where some of the Indian kids got molested by staff, I went to an American city school where niggers robbed and beat good kids , where every stairwell and bathroom was a tiger pit and the savages went unchecked by black and white adults making excuses for the baboons. But I also didn't walk around my whole life claiming to be irreparably harmed or in need of financial compensation.

  • @Gulfporter well thats good for u dude. because ide never want someone to go through that shit. also ude think u have more knowledge about these residential schools. this was the time before so called "minority's" had rights and there was gangs and shit. this happened when natives were practically slaves because the whites had the guns and govt. also u think we were the ones that asked for the money when this talk came around. the govt just gave money because they didnt wanna lock up the church.

  • @Gulfporter well spoken, I agree also there were atrocities, but why does it get leveraged to the fullest with govt. handouts for land, financial aid, and so on. I understand that some wounds dont heal, but certain things just boggle me...why does a native get to pay less tax than I do on cigarettes and other purchases?

  • @MisterMielke Why does the whitey get most of the loans from the Government and banks..certain things just boggle me...A Native will have to work 3 times harder than a White to become succesfull...We owned 100% of the lands before Euros came ashore, now we own 10% of North America...The Government giving some hush money, a little land, financial aid will never pay or make things all better...The rich Natives are buying land back...Whites have majority of the good lands, did u know that?

  • Why don't you's get it.  Something is only yours if you can defend it. Indians didn't even know what metal was. Can anyone say Aztec, cause that's the way it should have been!

  • OK, so right here we see the kind of relations that race based entitlements lead to. Racism is racism people. Making a racial claim to the land or to legal exemptions or whatever, is simply another way of opposing democratic citizenship. We used to have tribes and tribal lands. Now we have countries, made of many tribes. Country is the successor to tribe. Be citizens of great nations, and stop killing polar bears and whales out of some fucked up cultural identity.

  • @Gulfporter "Be citizens of great nations, and stop killing polar bears and whales out of some fucked up cultural identity" WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING? Whites are the ones who almost killed all the Whales around the World...WE HAVE A GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO MAKE CLAIMS, OUR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENT GOT SCREWED MANY TIMES OVER LAND AND RESOURCES...I'm glad the Chatholic Church is getting bashed all over the World, THEY DESERVE IT.

  • @Thomas3901 Grow up. Everybody's tired of the victimhood crap and nobody wants to hear it. Yeah, Norwegians and Japanese got very good at killing whales, and that makes Eskimos morally superior? No. No one has a right to live in a time warp. Eskimos, American Indians, Amazon tribes, Abos, whatever... these people are not the pets of modern civilization. Humans are not exempt from the rule of grow or die. And for god's sake stop playing that damned rain dance "music".

  • Comment removed

  • @Gulfporter the World is diverse and so is North America...You sound like you hate my culture...We preach peace more than anything else...We don't bash the Christian cross or Jesus, we bash the sick people you are hating a culture for no reason...These Sickos also molested little Children in Ireland, They need Justice too...HOW DARE YOU STICK UP FOR THESE MOLESTERS

    Whites get to speak up at their Tea Bag protests, but one someone of color speak up, they are playing the Victom.

  • @Thomas3901 I don't hate your culture, I'm just not pretending to revere it. I think's that insulting, to treat it like something to be preserved rather than something to grow.... an artifact instead of art.

    I don't give a shit what you preach or if you burned down every Christian church in North America (start with mormons). But what you need to do is take responsibility for your lives. The things which were done to you could be done to you because you were a lagging culture.

  • @Gulfporter And take responsibility for our lives? man I could shut the company you work for down with the flick of a pen, your fuckin with a sensitive issue, I watched my father suffer my whole life from these demons abuse...now I'm a top 30 CEO and spend more money than youve seen trying to give my people back hope, don't comment on responsibility until you have been and still are a target for genocide..you have NO IDEA about what these demons did and life murdered by governments

  • @Gulfporter Lady you need to stop hating...These are sick People that abused Chidren from all over the World the past 600 years...Look up Christian Abuse of Irish Children in Ireland

    Natives only hunt for to survive and only take what they need...There are still Tribes that live in small villages around the hemisphere, they need their rights.

  • @LJM331 "Natives only hunt for to survive and only take what they need."

    Oh bullshit. What Disney movie did you get that from? Seriously, do some research and get back to me. Start by googling =polar bears killed canada= and see who is killing them and why. It's tourist hunters on tribal permits for big bucks.

  • @Gulfporter White Hunters hunted Buffalo, Polar Bears and Whales almost to extinction for Hide, and Whale oil...I don't why your bring this up.

    FUCK CHILD MOLESTERS...SICK DEMONS FROM HELL

  • i agree to some extent, survival of the fittest, So we can abandon civility as well? I think you already have

  • Only the strongest will survive, i m not saying the white race must perish, Its a law of nature, the survival of the fittest, But what about the bible? A shambles? A charade? Lies?

  • White people are the only people on earth smart enough to survive!! Fuck the rest of them!!

  • @hateuallful Diversity all in your face...We are all Humans, we all bleed the same blood...We are the creations of the Creator(God)

  • @lunafringe10

    All Hail Brittania!

  • you prove yourself with your comment, that the white race isnt worth surviving, you think i care? i dont give a hoot. who lives and who dies,

  • @lunafringe10 , the white race is worth surviving more than your neandertal race of animals that can't evolve and learn new technology beside rock, wood and fire

  • @MasterOfAggravation wow your very Ignorant and funny...Anything you say does not make you better than me...Launafringe is a good man, I respect him, he has a good heart unlike you.

  • @MasterOfAggravation I love it how you show your hate...Do you feel better now? I bet you feel very good about yourselve...There are alot of Klan Terroist groups you can join here in America, I'll bet there are many KKK in Canada too...Show your pride and join them, you'll feel the enlightenment of White Power...You can give eachother a pat on the back...If you leave the Klan they will hunt you down and rape you...yeah WHITE POWER...LMFAO!

  • Embrace your language, hold strong to all that makes us indigenous and may all our following generations celebrate our cultural uniqueness and joy. Let our continued spiritual strength demonstrate that above all adversity we will prevail.....

  • Comment removed

  • what good is an apology? It makes no difference now does it

  • This always breaks my heart to hear. My grandmother went to one of thes schools. If I went through this, when I got older I would have tracked these people down and killed them.

  • Let's kill them white fuckers and see if they like our genocide on them and instead of burying them we'll just throw them in trashcans

  • Comment removed

  • @cheroshawnee ...how in hell are you guys gonna kill us all when we outnumber you in a way larger number, trying the kill every white people will not help your cause of claiming back your land, it will,in actual fact, be the death of all of you instead...dumbass savage!!!!

  • @MasterOfAggravation: Here in the South West USA we hold it down on our own...We still put up with the KKK, but it don't fade us...Quit changing the subject, we will continue to bash those who did sickening things to our Parents and Grandparents, I'll bash the racist and corruption of today...If your not part of that, I have no problem with you...America and Canada is changing from within and becoming diverse...Deal with it!

  • Fuck you wagon burners!!! aaaahhhh just jokes!!!

  • Aww did one of your honkey ass forefathers die from his wagon being burned? LMAO! Poor whiteback even honkies don't like eachother anymore

  • hahaha No actually my forefathers shot all the prairie niggers around here!!! I forgot you fucking dirtbags even existed anymore!! Keeping a low profile these days? Oh yeah you just keep huffing paint until you all die!! hahahaha Fucking Indians!!!

  • Comment removed

  • omg. that's so sad.

  • the canadian government figured itll just give all the natives that went to residencial schools money and everything will be ok. my father only spoke his language when he was sent to 1 of these schools, to this day he will not speak our languages. an apology and money will never heal what was lost for so many of our people

  • 30 years ago I was to have a baby, Dad was from, Port Alberni, Canada where Kevin Annett uncovered this horror! .... Had a British right wing gynecologist tell me when he found out Dad was a Native, "not fair for the baby" ... our laws and social norms gave us no where to go, grieve, run or hide, after all our baby was not a "person" by law and even less so because neither was father, both died,30 years later I grieve mourn and cry, what our social climate with malice helped me deny......

  • and therefore I want men like Steven Harper to FRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

  • canada has a lot to hide, i m finding out now, i m glad i never went there, never talk about nazi germany, talk about the deeds of canadians and the US, then u ll really have something to think abt, I am white, but i m ashamed to be a member of the white race, i must say it like this, whites are only scum, and apoligies are cheap, looks like this was organized genocide, like in australia, And now they are in Iraq killing children there, thank you aljazeera for bringing us the truth abt canada

  • Hey!

  • ... its not white pple as a race that is the problem its the culture they are born and raised in, im white...does this make me a bad person, even though i am accepting of any culture or race? it is particular groups of pple that cause these problems... but what about crime? as diverse as canada is there are still more white pple, but yet still most crimes are not commited by the white race as a whole, does this mean that all blacks are criminals? No its where they were born and raised mostly

  • support your claims with data or they will forever remain just claims.

  • if you feel so much white guilt, then why don't you just leave and go back to europe to show how much you respect you've got for the natives and how bad you want them to claim back their land...you know, it's because of pussies like you that whites will eventually fall and be dominated by those who hate us, people like you disgust me pretty much...fucking hippie traitor !!! On top of that, if you like them so much, why don't go suck their cocks and get your ass fucked SAVAGELY...

  • @MasterOfAggravation We cant go back to Europe cuz if we did who would feed you? Who would make you well in our Hospitals ? Who would work and give you our hard earned tax money? Think about what you are saying.

  • Latin "intelligere"=to understand. I understand that the genocide of IndigenousPeoples happens because of the eurocentred pretention to "educate" the nature in order to deny its fear of life. My poor coward white jew people, look at us now, in our books, in our McDo we are miserable an vain under our humanized god's fantasms. We just imposed white barbarism and yellow piss beer to the earth. It is not much. An UNeducated white Jew.

  • To jeffms2

    The destruction of land ,animals, air and people who lived a civilized harmony nature now that's your education the parasites around my asshole have more of a purpose then someone like you unfortunately/fortunately the majority of people have this education which will bring about end of educated/civilized greedy capitalist man.

    you promise to continue your attack with your dysfunctional patriarchal education system

  • I really do resent your comments Jeffms2. However I do defend your right to post them.

  • I am Native and I am educated and articulate. I am a Native Canadian man and love life. The guitar...Where is that from and where it was invented (I DON`T KNOW!) because I sure as hell like playing it.

  • Cree Girl Don`t even bother with that JJffms2. If he wants to invent a planet let him have at it. Algonquin..Ie Cree is a language that came to light in North America was invented here.

    Cheers brian

  • sorry last the last comment was directed at the fellow who is so hateful and by the trash he is spewing...uneducated.

  • Uneducated? The only education you would have, if it wasn't for white people, is tipi building and bow hunting!

  • ahhh you're funny....feel better spewing your hate? hope so...but anyway hope you have a great day and that life brings you all the happiness that you deserve :)

  • What the fuck you say jeffms2? If it wasn't for white people we would be alot better off than now and actually the first people were from africa/egypt shit. And who are you to talk, I'm Native and better than you, what you got? I sleep on 3000 dollar sheets, have six cars and a million dollar home so what are you a broke white hillbilly? man you would get smacked the fuck out on any rez broke ass redneck, oh yea an i just turned 22 so Indians must be doin something right eh?

  • At least Natives from all over aren't killing anyone to get their lands back.. At least we aren't trying to take over the world and create a master race and lye to the world to start a war..At least we aren't bombing buildings, And finally at least we dont call you Europeans when you still call us Indians. (Naive People Dine')

  • Comment removed

  • LMAO have you guys seen that now that the whites became wealthy and destroyed so many cultures and lives, they come to say "sorry"? America, Africa, Asia, Oceania, all continents were victims of Europe and now that the evil has been done, why does the planet need their "regrets" if they are still calling the original owners of their lands "illegals" or "alliens" ?

  • LOL, nevermind buddy. Honestly, I like white ppl since most of my blood is European but I like other races and cultures as well, so basically I just think that we should try to live in peace. Have a good one

  • i guess Natives aren't the blame for Pollution & messing up the earth??

    if caucasion's were here first, why was'nt it recorded in europe??

  • you probably believe in god and Jesus to and for me I live in a tipi my computer I stole it from a white man I also steal electricity and there is no record of a caucasian fossil LOL LOL lOL FO_OL and don't bother to send me you bullshit proof you will believe any thing a white man tells you, your education is bias, its very warm in my tipi here in the forest as for your electricity it can easily be disconnected and then you will be fucked

  • Comment removed

  • You racist white people should just shut the fuck up

  • ramzabove in canada apologies to indians mean

    nothing the only thing that can heal a canadian indians pain is money. if you suggest any thing else your a racist white man

  • What crankyboy does not understand is that native americans were forced to live under horrid conditions. Image someone burning you home, killing your mother, raping your sister, how would you deal with it? If you fight you die, since they out number you 1:100 and if you surrender you get this video ^^^ happening, all while the person who did all these things to you calls you the savage... sad...

    Many natives deal with this pain with Alcohol and the Chinese named calling is a def. mechanism

  • Sad....................... ;.(.........

  • That is so damn sad, OMG wtf! but yeah I seen the apology on c-span this past summer. WOW! I'm glad that finally they feel this need to damn apologize, after all the apology is only words and words can never heal the torment, so good luck canada...may you be forgiven - your ancestors that is. PEACE.

  • i already have a stressful day in university and i still have to deal with them when i get home... they get free money and they don't even use it carefully.people work hard for money to just give it to them... If u think the residential skul was unearthlike.. why don't you learn about the holocaust.. do you know how many people died and got killed in dissturbing ways... you think people give them money? like wow..

  • you don't know nothing crankyboiy! You took their land, you dishonoured and cry about the tax treaties the crown signed with them, and dismiss it all as ancient history or the "conquering theory." yet it only happened less than a few hundreds years ago.

    You stole their land, took away their culture, murdered them, and forced who was left on isolated indian reversations, then complain because they stay there and languish in third world poverty conditions. SHAME SHAME WHITE-EYES!

  • What a total moron, this racist jeffms2 whiteguy, doesn't know grade 8 history.

    Indians were "FORCED" onto reservations, their land was stolen. It all recorded in the history books. I don't this welfare bum works, he sounds like another crackhead.

  • Speaking of grade 8, learn some fucking grammar idiot! And fuck the history books, I'm talking now! But idiots like you seem to think that us hard working tax payers owe (you) indians something for something that happened so long ago that holds no relevance today.

    And how am I racist? I want everyone to be treated equally!!!!! Unlike people like you who think there is a culture of entitlement. btw... Ill take crack over gas anyday!

  • wow I've never seen so much hate....and ignorance....go read a book! Do not make judgments so quickly without looking at both sides of the story. It is usually the lack of knowledge and ignorance that leads to beliefs and views so hateful as these...

  • WOW is right! Indians are the meaning of the word "ignorant'! The only haters are Indians. You blame every problem you've ever had on white people. Who's the hater? When Indians start being accountable for themselves Canada will be a better place!

  • You dont know shit about the genocide the white people commited or the torture they practiced and you wonder why your cops get shot the fuck up all the time. Man your race is becoming the minority and soon you people will feel it. Italians respect us, spanish respect us, blacks respect us aswell as asians and middle east so why not you hillbillies?

  • loll?! "they are trouble makers" this depend on how high is the racism.. more white racist in a place more native trouble makers... if its not the case then... Natives where you live are suffering from the things white people done before...

  • you don't know nothing crankyboiy! You took their land, you dishonoured and cry about the tax treaties the crown signed with them, and dismiss it all as ancient history or the "conquering theory." yet it only happened less than a few hundreds years ago.

    You stole their land, took away their culture, murdered them, and forced who was left on isolated indian reversations, then complain because they stay there and languish in third world poverty conditions. SHAME SHAME WHITE-EYES!

  • thats horrible what those people did to them. public apology definetly doesnt seem enough

  • I'm sorry too, I will no longer give my smallpox infected blankets to the indians. Also I will no longer use the word "wild injuns" or "savage" to describe the natives, those words are insensitive. Now I will only use the word "redskin" Sorry about alll that my injun, oops, I mean redskin friends.

  • Why say sorry? they also did stuff to us, why say sorry to muslims, they also did stuff to us, we lost alot more shit then anyone, who said sorry to us? people look too much at race, but not the colour of our blood, it seems very simular doesnt it?

  • here here from a Ukraine/Irish Hybrid whom had been attacked for my skin color and whom I chose to love.... blood is blood ... Steven Harper is a hypocrite and a Machine Maker spit....we are all one...

  • Spit it is just political pressure ----- I lost a baby due to an extension of this hell and know one cares because I am white ........... he lies in in unmarked grave as does his father but they are burned on my heart ........ I am white who says sorry to me??????????????????

  • Please excsue my selfish demeanour, who says sorry to him, our son and who grieves for them .... and there is plenty of suffering across this country we need to embrace one another and get rid of these politicians that teach us the truth by telling so many lies...............

  • The Harper apology is a good start. Now, the perps can begin to heal, hopefully.

    All indigenous peoples should set aside a day of prayer for the perps.

  • how come we never hear about this in mexico?

  • They did not apologize to "Indigenous People"!

    They apologized to "Residential School" victims.

    This does not include the parochial schools in Indigenous communities nor does it address "Genocide" and protects the perpetrators.

    To this day we all live in "Third World" conditions under forced assimilation while the wealthy live happilyy on stolen lands and resourtces. The Wabanaki did not sell, cede or surrender any of its traditional homelands also.

  • Excellent points....

  • the apology will never justify the injustice and suffering of the thousands. there should be compensation programs and gov't funded cultural rebuilding programs for reserves. students should be educated and informed of the past and shouldnt be ignored.

  • We canadians feel sorry for you chief but will we give you your land back? Eh, no.

  • Shut up you Canadian scum, your people make me sick, you basterds, you dont even deserve to be on this planet

  • Isn't it rich how this muslim channel is talking about religious and sexual abuse...? Hmmmm ,reminds of a little girl and a 50 year old pervert named Mo.

  • gross simulation. it's too bad

  • Who wants to bet Nubbs has no life? He posts on here waaaay to much.

  • i'm not the one who has watched 6,600 videos in the last 14 months.

    who wants to bet PumaPumaPride has no life? she watches videos on here waaaay to much.

    BOO yeah!

  • That's actually kinda Normal. I mean, that over a year and two months Nubbs, lol. When I go on Youtube Ill prob watch maybe 10 or more vids, so it just builds up. Um, also, I don't come back to the same video to bitch and whine for a whole week fighting people. I mean, why not just let it go? I'll give you a chance, don't reply to this. Lets see if you can just stop fighting people, I doubt you can't because your just gunna reply angrily. Prove me wrong.

  • nubbs

    Even tho I hate u Nubbs, that was funny LOL!!

  • thats the thing about canadians that americans dont do. They apoligize and dont ignore their wrongdoing, but americans do.

  • no we don't ignore our wrongs, however we do not accept the whoa is me game, everyone is responsible for their own lives, things happen some times that are out of your control but how you respond and how you live the rest of your life is on you and no one else. yes it is sad what happened to native populations but everyone has to move on.

  • and reparation are appropriate. Don't forget that. Repercussions from past transgressions are evident today. So, don't be so quick to dismiss any government responsibility. "Oh well, get over it" mentality is insufficient. Concrete reparations are due to offset generational damage inflicted on these people with a beautiful culture. And make no mistake that genocide was perpetrated in the past. Enough said.

  • present day citizens should not have to pay for things that were done hundreds of years ago, all peoples at one point in history were the victims, so should every ethnic group have to pay for every single thing that was done? it is silly to even think in that manner. my family were irish slaves in the carribean who should we seek damages from england or the islands? here's a thought no one! yes very tragic but you know what our lives are up to us.

  • get some balls and get involved

  • LOL bulit!

  • I've never heard of Native Canadian's until today, 6-17-08. I'm almost 40 yrs. old.

  • that you are really ignorant.

  • I cwit  !! LOL!!

  • They applogize but still to this day they are forcing our brothers further and further. And making money off of this shit. Damn devils.

  • I am talking about military control exerted when the first settlers arrived centuries ago, I know the truth hurts and it would be nice if the truth could just be put under a bushel.

    Hey, im not racist... im just honest shedding light on the past, something the people hope will not be shown.

    You are the true racist to deny the past as some people deny the holocaust... ok it may have been about a few centuries ago but still ppl died.

  • whatever, racist.

    you know absolutely nothing about native history, as is apparent to anybody who reads your posts. waring to those who do, however, as your posts are vulgar and racist

    and what moron compares to the holocaust to native land claims and treaty rights.

    do you even understand the difference between assimilation and extermination? clearly you are as deluded from reality as you are ignorant of history and racist in temperament.

    i say good riddance to you

  • Good riddance to you. Your command of English is being called into question here. I was simply illustrating that people like you, who deny they systematic mistreatment of the natives ever took place, are racist. Simple, just like racists deny that anything happened to the Jews in Germany. I was not comparing degrees however they are both negative.

    Hide it pretend it did not happen and that it does not affect the natives to this very day... keep denying.

  • listen, you are in no position to be talking about "command of english." your english is so bad, i, left thinking that ive been debating a teenager.

    and again, you can not find ONE single post amidst my MANY on this thread where i deny abuse happened in the residential schools, or that it created much intergenerational suffering.

    i, however, can find many instances where you have been exceedingly racists, condescending and paternalistic towards natives, and ignorant of their history

  • and if you want to learn about a real genocide in what is now canada, find out what happened to the Huron and Huronia. and compare their demise with that of the Beothuks.

  • Whatever, please keep passing the buck.

    I guess Europeans have never had fight before amoungst themselves.. oh except for the 2 biggest ones in modern times.

  • my point exactly. humans are humans. it doesn't matter if they are european or native american. all peoples of all ethnicities and cultures have a bloody past.

    which is why it is not helpful when you mock natives as stupid greedy drunk indians, as you've put it, or when you call all europeans evil enslaving colonizers. both sentiments, which you have expressed, are racist.

    you are a through and through racist who has much to learn about native and canadian history before he opens his mouth

  • You seem obsessed with dropping as many

    R-Bombs as you possibly can. People are always on about how this and that all people have done ill. The difference is taht some of those ills are still having an effect on people today.

    Are you suggesting that native americans do not drink more on average? Are you also suggesting that the European settlers had the best of intentions when giving the natives alcohol while at various times even banning the shit.

  • i am suggesting that you are an idiot and a racist, as is clear to anybody who reads your foul mouthed racist rants

    you are so ignorant you probably can't even name one single famous native artist or politician or scientist or novelist or civil rights advocate

    you are an ignorant racist. "native americans" don't even live in canada

    read john s. milloy's "a national crime" and geoffrey york's "the dispossessed," thomas king's "green grass running water" and ronald wright's "stolen continents"

  • "Are you suggesting that native americans do not drink more on average"

    I was so upset to read this that I must respond. Please do not perpetuate the stereotype that we first nations peoples are drunks. Have you ever met or talked with one of us? We are not drunks, peter2o6

  • what your a disgrace to canada?

  • I hate it whene native people say how white poeple made them do these and that theres mostly british french white canadians that did these.

  • You are a disgrace to Canada.

  • War is not the measure.... come on christianity was not a choice.... lets be honest!!! Not that I have anything against Christianity.

  • look, i dont really understand it myself, but aboriginal people continue to turn of their own volition to christianity

  • if it wasn't for the canadian government, natives would still be living long houses and tents without electricity or indoor plumbing or clean water, and they wouldn't be driving trucks and snowmobiles or hunting with rifles or watching tv and playing video games.

    if it wasn't for the canadian government, they wouldn't even be literate.

  • are you saying natives have treaty rights to entire north american continent.

    funny, but the cree proverb says no one owns the land, nor the air, nor the water.

    funny, but property rights are a european construct. aboriginals had never heard of property rights before the conquest. now they "own" the land?

    aboriginals are to blame for conditions on reserves. they get billions every year.

    and the only genocide in canada was by natives to other natives.

  • I was wondering when something about this would get here. Thanks Aljazeera!

  • BBC and CNN might cover this shit.

    Fixed news, however, would never show this shit because it either never happened or is justified.

  • im sorry, but "colonial history" will show that natives and europeans settlers in canada actually got along quite well for most of their 400+ years of relations.

    canada is not the united states. their histories with native groups is much different.

  • I'm Canadian and I admit the natives here, at least in Alberta, are considered second-rate citizens. This is because the only time most people see the natives, they are usually drunk, stoned, homeless, or all of the above. Now obviously not all natives fall under this category, but that's how most people view them. A sad reality. Indian reserves aren't helping anything either. Not sure what kind of solution will truly help them, but throwing more money at the problem hasn't helped.

  • Bottom line is, NOBODY deserves to be treated that way. The gov't apology is a start, but it's not nearly enough. What is enough? I have no idea. I just hope they can move on and, as a people, work to dispel the idea that they are all a bunch of lowlifes. I really want to see them turn it around.

    Here is to hoping. Good luck my friends.

  • Your apology is fake Whiteman......Sooner or later karma shall takes place....I am not even Native Canadian but what the white people did to them hurt me deep...My great respect and endless admiration to Native Canadians/Native Americans...

  • what if karma is what caused the all the native suffering in the first place?

  • Death to Canada!!

  • Canada will never be able to undo this wrong, but it is important to keep shedding light on it's biggest past mistake. The prime minister's apology was delayed but it was an apology nonetheless. This will forever be a lesson to be learned from as well as the evil known as Head Tax. EMBRACE DIVERSITY.

  • actually, the liberals apologized in 1997. but this more formal apology was better.

  • canada sucks

  • Whitey doesnt like seeing this because every white person outside of Europe might need to hand out an apology for their ancestors.

    So keep it on the hush, if you will !!

  • right, because the arabs and the chinese never did any colonizing.

    and it's not like white europeans were displaced by other white europeans.

    moron.

  • In modern time white europeans have displaced and decimated other cultures, while using other races to build up their countrys... then spitting them out like chewing gum when things are not rosey.

  • so have yellow chinese and brown arabs and black africans. heard of tibet, or darfur, or the congo?

    and if you knew anything about native american history, you would know that it was the iroquois who committed genocide against the algonquins. don't think that natives werent killing and displacing other natives prior to the arrival of europeans.

  • Nubbs

    You have lost the plot... to completely destroy ,decimate, a way of life is wrong the same way of life that is not even to be altered.

    So do the Europeans have a right to boot out immigrants from other places? I suppose you could trace your ancestry.. posssibly at least 5 generations the Indians that suvived were taught to forget their heritage something that they may never ever know. Is that right... keep passing the buck !!

  • have you ever been to a reserve? most natives have no desire to go back to living without electricity like their ancestors.

    there is no "native way of life." from the moment european arrived the natives have wanted their lifestyle - their guns, booze, pots and pans, etc.

    natives are free to back to living in the bush hunting with bow and arrows. most, however, prefer the european way of life, it would seem

    immigration is a fact of life. everyone should be free to live anywhere.
