Thats right! After the wars were over and the fur bearing animals were either pushed to near the brink of extinction (or simply out of vogue in Europe) and the early wars ended, they had no "use" for the Aboriginal person. sad but true in that dated archaic mindset that surely must have been de rigeur in in its time.
TT is having to "like" this vid while hating the truth of it. It is so sad to see this be a right/left political issue.
It is a matter of national honour to straighten this out. Canada should be a world leader in resolving the issues left over from european expansion. Instead we are shamefully among the least honourable.
Excellently done video, I just wish it didn't need to be hooked together with union issues to get the attention it so desperately deserves.
its sad that many white high school students are not taught about canadian history, i talked to kids i work with and they have no idea what thier country is built on
So far the best video that tells people SOME of the historic colonized attempts to get rid of the Native people of North America. So many wrongs have been done to us Native peoples and strange as this may sound alot of North American people do not know their own historic history of North America. Why?? The Education system needs to start telling the REAL STORIES to our children in schools. Yes, It is time!! Elsie from Toronto, ON Canada.
As a teacher of Native Studies in University this video is a great summary of what is taught. This video is a great support for what is needed, education of these facts. Proud of all those in the video and those who helped to make it possible. Miigwetch.
miigwetch; as a member of the white tribe of the medicine wheel, I pledge to continually promote reconciliation for the unspeakable mistakes of our European-technocratic ancestors. we have all been colonized at one time, and must work together to heal the sicknesses of our past.
"getting over it" somehow implies its over..... but everyday there are still incidents of land being stolen, treaties being broken and NDNs being killed and mistreated.
What a great video. The only part which I might not agree, is that I believe WE knew there were peoples across the big water (Europe) even if we didn't know much about them. Ojibwe legend states 'We come from the East, across the big water. Never forget."
Amazing and powerful piece. I am deeply honoured to have been a part of the such a meaningful movement. The struggle goes on thanks to you all. Here and around the World, In Solidarity...

Reconciliation is not on Harper's plate, nor will it be, check out the book by Trevor Harrison , titled "Of Passionate Intensity"

OK, reconciliation.
What is the plan? What do you want and how do you want it?
Clearly you aren't happy with the present situation so how do we fix it?
Who will decide what is to be done and how will you decide if it works?
