Britain: Worlds Worst Mass-Murderer - those swine thugs have so much to answer for.
RIP Louis St John, a stolen Aboriginal boy, run over by british immigrants in Perth and then left to die in a Perth street. The racist ambulance curs, reckon he was drunk and left him to die from his injuries. Google his name.
Only british vermin can be so evil! Only the british!
I sit here and cry, because of the abuse and sexual abused of innocent children around the world. We had no where to run and hide. Our minds belong to the abusers, we dare not say NO, for fear of more beatings. God forgive them, because I can not. I had 24years of abuse and sexual abuse in two catholic church orphanages in Christchurch New Zealand, 1941 to 1965.
These Australian Children, sadly abused in large part, were mostly abused BY the English Anglican and Euro Protest-ant Church, Not the Catholic Church!
Cant any of you morons do any research here?
Today children are all Mental slaves of the F*ckin Zionist, IsraHelli Apartheid Synaogue, worshipping a culture of death and money..and practicing this degenerate lifestyle, rather than loving their Catholic Christian values of loving neighbor and their families as we did for centuries.
the government took the fair skin / half cast ones away because they were ashamed the whites were sleeping with and raping the Aboriginals, Thats how the fair skin/half cast children came about..
yes death rate illegal genocide - - surpressed indians and catholics and french - stole our land and caused war all over the wolrd and - -Britts even dragged the people of canada into war --- hummm - who is worse English Loyalist or Hitler - - atleast with hitler it was a much more faster death -------it is no wonder why the french want a place of there own and the indians - catholics
Did you know Canada was first to: 1. carry out ethnic cleansing 2. genocide including cultural genocide 3. ban on religious freedom 4. establish concentration camp (reservation) 5. use germ warfare 6. use humans (children included) as objects for experiment 7. experiment with mind control and manipulation 8. carry out sterilization 9. perform abortion 10. kidnap children from their parents 11. destroy wildlife (buffalo is one of them) O Canada, your home on native land!
@MyHealingSoul Your one messed up individual @ the fragile age u are at 1 would think u would have better things to do with what limited time u have left in this world, instead of spending your time on a pc looking up vids you have no intrest in & talking shit about things you know nothing about, ethnic cleansing has been around prior to America's being discoverd, look at the mid east how your killing each other & if it wasnt for the white ppl Saudi Arabia would've been gone long ago by Saddam..
If you are Native decent watch this video its of New Zealand Natives Maori people situated in the southern part of the Pacific Ocea, wat i find about these people they Resemble the Cultures of Canada and America
its called POi E and another video called Ngoi Ngoi
The Canadian Government's attempt intention to force the assimilation of the Aboriginal peoples in Canada into European-Canadian society and "killing the Indian in the child" had failed. A faith worst than death, the inhumany manner.
In Canada, over 100,000 thousand children were taken from their homes starting in 1840, and most had no contact with their parents for up to 10 months, or some would not even see their parents for years. When the last Indian residential school closed in 1996 only 50,000 thousand children returned home, some going home to find that their parents had died, or some had no where to go, therefore starting a life on their own with the little education the Indian residential school provided.
Now the whites through the Children Aid Services are destroying thie own families by taking white children away from their parents. This is Karma at work. Another one, whites are killing their own unborn children. This is Karma at work.
We will live to see whites destroy themself. Thank G_d.
@justsomedude777 After moving to North America and learning history from the natives I lost all respect for white people and Christianity. From my dealing with white people I am confident the white race will not last too long. People who have lost spirituality are on their way to destruction. Many of them are suffering physically and most of all mentally. So we should play on their weakness and run them over the cliff.
The army of "public serpents" which is now paid to attack the sanctity of the American family is bigger than the Russian Army. It's also a much bigger threat to our national security than the Russian Army, plus it is more corrupt, better paid, better organized, and better supported.
American government needs to undo what they did, But I know we can't go back to the past, be the people can make sure this never happens again from this government. cause it surely looks like the cycle is coming around again.
I had the honor to meet Archie & Ruby in my home in Boulder, CO early 90's. The message they brought was deep. Reminiscent of Native American Holocaust, an ongoing genocide. My Choctaw grandpa & his siblings were stolen by US government, abused & deculturized in every horrific way imaginable at Indian boarding school. It tears apart families for many generations into the future. It ends family lineages. ~Love & light to Archie & Ruby too. Very sorry to learn here on posts of Ruby's passing.
This song touches the hearts of many..as for myself..we will never see justice for the children that never made it home to their parents, my dad's brother was beaten to death in residential school, can you imagine? he was only 3 years old..defefenseless and vulnerable, no one to protect him..people that never experienced residential schools,will never understand what we went through, think about it, what if it were you and your family, how would you feel?..the injustice will be there forever.
All the schools seem to look alike..The Shubenacadie Indian Residential school is where I was sent...Notice they had none in New Brunswick..they sent us all to N.S. form the matimes..
watch RABBIT PROOF FENCE. it's a true story from australia, not hollywood. evidence on how the australian government tried to breed us out. a failed attempt at genocide.
@4y48p67g i lived across the road from sister kate's in the eighties ( not knowing the "bad" kids were sent there. I made great friends and their resilience despite difficult circumstances taught me a lot about real strength, many fell by the wayside and were labelled of course. If anyone knows glen miller, tyrrone boddington or syd say hi for me (ash)
As a aboriginal/Torres strait man i just wanna say :All the native people of the lands we was done wrong by but we still have our ELDER'S spirit's living strong in us all It's in our nature when the world goes to shit we'll go back and live like they did thousands of years ago no problem and we'll see who's up shit's CREEK
@07dawm The attempt to kill our spirit was a failure. =) We all have each other. It would be wonderful to meet my brothers and sisters around the world. xoxo
Like this comment if you think all indians deserve to go to hell and need to suck it up that they got misstreated 1000 years ago and now just make up stupid treaty rights go get some more lysol you dirty neeches
I dont know the circumstances in america but when they took Aboriginal children from their parents in Australia. They took them because most kids were half cast with European blood and looks. The government believed that half cast children shud not be in the care of black people and made them wards of the state. Their was also a system the govenment had it was called the third race meaning The out breeding our race. WHITE MAN LIES THRU HIS TEETH TO ALL MANKIND HE WILL BE THE DEATH OF US SOON.
my grandma and her family all went through this... its so sad that things like this happened for so long... people are realy ideots to think things like this are for the best.
Sometimes, things don't always turn out the way they should. That's life!! I was the oldest son of a poor farmer with seven siblings to care for. Yeah, life was tough. Today, I'm OK! Why is that? I went to school and learned how to do things right. It's called education! Get real guys!
ok....understanding will not work here, so, i will take ur children away for years, than tell me how this will affect ur life, ur home, ur beleifs, ur family unit, ur way of life and all that is before you, where to turn to, where to hide, alcohol was a way out, didn't care anymore for anything, this had lasting affects on our families, communities and our nations..we live and die in half our time, bend and broken before we have spoken, live that way of life, than talk to me about harmony
THIS SONG WAS FOR THE STOLEN GENERATION CHILDREN WERE TAKEN ALL OVER THE WORLD. IN AUSTRALIA WHEN WHITE PEOPLE SET US UP ON MISSION LAND. WE CALL THEM MISSIONS BUT I KNOW IN THE STATES THEY CALL THEM RESERVATIONS. THEY MADE US LIVE LIKE WHITE PEOPLE AND TO DENY US OF OUR ABORIGINALITY
FYI: aboriginals have been taxed 5 times more than non-aboriginals 1-our land 2-our resources (gold/lumber/oil) 3-ourancestors lives 4-indian residential schools 5- desease 6-legislation outlawing aboriginal culture and languages
FYI: these genocidal policies continue today... most farms are larger than 10 reserves put together...
FYI: all done by whites
FYI: reserve life and poverty associated issues were constructed by whites so they could keep prime property under power & control

Beautiful song. Why we treated our native people like that is beyond me. Instead of trying to get along with the Native Americans, First Nations, Aboriginal people, we kill them, force them into reservations, make them feel like worthless people, make them feel ashamed of who they are. It makes me sad, it makes me angry, that we treated native people the way that we did. :(
Great song!..seen Archie perform this many times, reminds me of my mum and grandmother who were part of the stolen generation...I've been to Canada and things aren't that different, I was in Toronto and there were some Indigenous mob off a resereve in Toronto drowning there sorrows and people walked past them like ghosts, just like here...forgotten, but they get by...Good doco on Canada and their story is, Unrepentant by Kevin Annett. Thnx for the Upload.
"It begins, I think, with the act of recognition. Recognition that it was we who did the dispossessing. We took the traditional lands and smashed the traditional way of life. We brought the disasters. The alcohol. We committed the murders. We took the children from their mothers. We practised discrimination and exclusion.
[Part of Prime Minister Paul Keating's speech at Redfern, December 1992]
@divadoodledoo It was our ignorance and our prejudice. And our failure to imagine these things being done to us. With some noble exceptions, we failed to make the most basic human response and enter into their hearts and minds. We failed to ask - how would I feel if this were done to me?
@divadoodledoo As I said, it might help us if we non-Aboriginal imagined ourselves dispossessed of land we have lived on for 50 000 years - and then imagined ourselves told that it had never been ours. Imagine if ours was the oldest culture in the world and we were told that it was worthless.
denied and ridiculed.
Imagine if we had suffered the injustice and then were blamed for it.
It seems to me that if we can imagine the injustice then we can imagine its opposite. And we can have justice.
@divadoodledoo Imagine if we had resisted this settlement, suffered and died in the defense of our land, and then were told in history books that we had given up without a fight. Imagine if non-Aboriginals had served their country in peace and war and were then ignored in history books. Imagine if our feats on sporting fields had inspired admiration and patriotism and yet did nothing to diminish prejudice. Imagine if our spiritual life was denied and ridiculed. Paul Keating's speech at Redfern
@divadodledoo -Your from Canada? Well you know more about Indigenous issues than most white people out here.
You have Indigenous people over there to dont you. I think...the Inuit...& there are probably more but thats the group that spring to mind.Probably because I remember something about a treaty with them.We have no treaty over here.i think were the only western 1st world country with Indig ppl that has no treaty.Its crazy as hell out here.They are trying to say we caused our problems.??
@casting4325 - There are many different ... "tribes"? ( I hope that is still the right word ) of indigenous people in Canada, I'm guessing hundreds. Each region is different as well,
Depends on how you mean that. Historically, no, although I don't think everything was perfect before whites, the invaders DID change the way of life for natives and inflicted alot of suffering. I am not excusing that.
But to say that the current problems are solely the cause of whites is not going to help. Sooner or later some responsibility needs to be taken on one's own problems.
I'm sorry, I saw the pictures from Canada and was only referring to our situation here. I don't know the situation in Australia and therefore will not comment on them.
@kefri916 Its pretty hard to take full responsibility for ones life when the perpertrator stil has full control & will not get their foot of your throat.
@kefri916 My family are educated & have a small amount of substance abuse problems & meet no stereotypes but still struggle/suffer due to racism & who we are.
I had to break down the comments as the one larger comment would not register.
And im from "Australia" not Canada. But I also stand with the native Canadians in spirit.
@kefri916 correct me if im wrong but Canada has treaties & agreements with its Indigenous people. This wouldnt be a perfect situation for the native people but its does give them some form of legal leverage & autonomy.
We have no agreements over here.Its law of the jungle & mob rule.Without some form of social & financial autonomy the white culture is effectively wiping out the oldest living culture on earth without a wimper from the international community.
@kefri916 You seem to be causing problems in the current times based on your numerous negative comments on several "sensitive" issues for indigenous people. Your attitude perpetuates the sins of our fathers. In this respect, yes, YOU are indeed responsible for the "problems". You foster racism, hate & refusal to take accountability.
Why do you go to such effort to diminish other people's pain?
People seem to think that because we throw a few dollars to First Nations, the pain of the past is wiped out....but there are so many conditions attached this funding which generates resentment & hostility in tax-payers. why is it so difficult to understand that money is nothing but a band-aid upon a festering wound which will never heal because that treatment is futile. We fund countless special interest groups, First Nations is but a drop in the bucket
I've tried to teach my children of the great suffering & anguish committed upon First Nations peoples throughout the world. My oldest son is in a Community College studying journalism & will shortly begin writing for the student paper. I wish desperately for him to tell this story....to enlighten his peers because so many of us are ignorant of the past, the sins of our fathers...so many of us continue to perpetuate the injustice...Apologies & tears are not enough...but what can we do?
To my Sister Ruby Hunter RIP you was a insperation to all us Yamitigyi, Nooghar, Koori, Wongi . women ......peace and love to you Archie Roach my brother
Australia and Canada are sister nations in many ways.
We must make good our promises to right all the wrongs us whitefellas have done.
May the indigenous people forgive us the evil and hurt we have wrought on them and their children.
I acknowledge Ruby Hunter here today, the day of her passing. Ruby was a force for peace and Reconciliation in our divided country, she was a fine woman and extraordinary Australian. We are blessed that she shared her creativity with us.
We are first peoples' advocates of planetmotherearth now, we can speak word, we can live without jattachments,judgements and false assumptions in our daily lives now. we don't have to take things in a personal way yet do the best we can in our rest, play, prayer, and work. we are peope and not those other slang terms.
I thank you my brother for sharing this video. Tears ran from my eyes as I remember stories my grandmother told me. Stories my parents shared growing up. Stories I can also tell, but yet another time. As you said, we all need to focus on what is good, but yet we also have to look as the past & learn from it. Promises broken.
So an a slightly different note, can I pose a question to you guys...
What do you think should happen in order to fix the problems faced in the native communities today? Rather then playing the blame game about the past, what can we do to make the future better?
They way it is now is very depressing. I can follow a trail of trash from our town to the reserve. The prisons are full of natives. The streets are full of native gangs. Seeing this makes it hard not to be racist for me...
We are already striving towards what makes a better life for ourselves kefri, thank you for asking. We don't need anyone's permission for that.
As for native gangs, there are many races of gangs not just native gangs and we believe we are handling ours well in our own communities. Many times, in many races, young people just need to feel "like they need to belong", so they join forces with other teens. It's a common problem. To make headway, we join w/other groups and put our head together.
@ReiRaine You are right with what you are saying, and I'm glad to see that you care so much. I won't comment any more after this. =)
My main point that I wanted to bring up is that I am tired of being blamed and taxed for someone else's problems. When I drive through the res and see trash everywhere, when our hockey teams bus gets our brake lines cut in the res, when 90% of the druggies in my kids school are native, when the res chief is alwasy asking for more money. HOW IS THIS MY FAULT?
You seem to focus too much negative things kefri. If it bothers you, then don't look at it. No one over here is saying it's your fault that bad things happen to native people. Just lighten up a bit.
@kefri916 Mate ur a bloody biggot like natives dont work pay taxes you must think your the only person in the world who pays taxes grow up and stop being an insignificant bastard that you are. No ones not blaming anyone but it did happen and it happened when ur parents or grandparents were there. Stop being a biggot and putting down such a beautifull culture. Im Polyunesian I agree if they can remember the Haulacaust how can they forget this wats happening in ur own backyard..
@XLongbeachX I don't think Kefri is nearly as big as a biggot as you!! It goes both ways dude!! "White Man lies through his teeth" ?!? That's cleary racist stereotyping... oh waut, it's ok against white people!
And you are right, you have no idea what it is like in Canada!! Here most of them don't work and the pay NO taxes and we pay for their houses, their food, everything! And then we are told it all our fault that the reserves are messed up!!
Oh and btw, there's no way anyone can ruin this video, thanks for caring. =) It is nice that we can have a rational discussion after all. I made this vid for my people, if one of them disapproves of it, then it will matter to me.
@ReiRaine We were, and my kids are, taught in school that somehow, it is our fault that there was suffering in the past and that we are obligated give our taxes, some of our employement ( required % of natives ), etc.
I would suggest that we need to get over what could have been or what should have been and work towards a future where we can live in harmony without the tension, bickering, and violence that we have now.
Kinda odd. =) I wasn't bickering at all. I was "explaining", as I usually do. But you're right "WE" should learn to live in harmony, not only with each other, but especially with nature. Life is grand after all. My teachings are that "newcomers" had attempted to damage our history. Today's people are not responsible. Please don't take things personally. We must learn to live in harmony. =)
@ReiRaine This kefri916 has guilt. There is nothing much you can say to a person who is guilty. There is no defense for them, and even if they say it there is no strength.
We all know stealing children, stealing land, and genocide are wrongs that can never be fixed.
@ReiRaine you damage your own history by not telling it fully. You have this youtube ranting on about po po indians. But, how about one about showing the scalps indians took. How about including the women and children you kidnapped and never returned and sold away. Talk about the constant warring. You damage your own history by omissions and lies. Tell the entire truth about indians then compare it to whites.
@kefri916 we can not forgot get the pass ever becuz all this kids are punish at a young age didnt have a good life style soo thats when acholic came in to forget the pain they had what the europeans did to the first nation ppl and some of survivors to this day but i have my grandy and half my family members been in residental schools and this is for my home work and i wanted to say what i think about it
@kefri916 it is odd that whites are blamed for the treament of indians and the bloody savagery of indians is completely omitted from history.
.
but, it is more comfy, kinda warm and fuzzy to be exonerated for any and all of your actions simply by playing the victim of something that happened hundreds of years ago.
.
they wave it like a flag that happened only yesterday all the while, drugs, alcohol abuse, domestic violence, rape & incest run rampant on the res and they do nothing
@kefri916 your people were warring, vile violent savages that murdered, kidnapped, beat raped scalped your victims. . tell the truth and stop lying . when you dirty indians took children away, you never returned them . these indian childern were just in boarding school . stop your fucking lying . you hate whites you want to be STOP TAKING MONEY, FOOD, HOUSING AND HEALTHCARE FROM WHITES
@curatrix2008 that is just terrible, and i am not an aboriginal. they raped them and beat them and didn't feed them. they stole their culture and did you forget that the aboriginals were the first people there. we stole their country and their land. both sides did bad things, i admit that. by we are not here to blame and hate. we are here to educate. make sure that this never happens again, to anyone. plus, nothing is being taken from the whites. calm down.
@dramaqueen465 LOL hardly but it makes a damn find story . you thinking when indians attacked other indians tribes they didn't rape, steal enslave the women and children or worse . they surely did and the reservations have huge rates of indian men raping women and children and murdering them . there are no peoples that haven't been conquered at some time . some get over it and move on with a lot less sympathing and handouts than indians get . they love playing the victim
@dramaqueen465 . OH FOR HELL SAKES gawd it's so hard to have totally ignorant and uneducated people like yourself tossing out bullshit comments. . GOD did not set these people down on the american continient . they came here from asia . wave after wave of them killing and stealing their land and forceing the people here ahead of them off the land .
IMO: Your comment seems accusatory & damning & totally defeats the the buffer of your concern & offer of solution.
When basic needs are not met, apathy & despondency result. The "trail of trash" to which you refer is a symptom of that.
It was very insensitive of you to suggest an interest to "fix the problems" & then make criticisms. Honestly ask yourself how easily YOU can forgive a transgressor.
Search your heart & imagine yourself in similar situations.BTW...I am white,
@divadoodledoo I am not in an way saying it will be easy to fix the current vicious cycle of abuse, poverty, and violence.
What I am saying though, is that it can only be fixed when natives, as a whole, stop pointing fingers, taking handouts, and take responsibility for the position they are in. No that is not easy. But is the only way.
kefri: I do not deny that there are issues with the conditions on reservations...yes, I have been to Six Nations in Brantford. I have nursed in Northern Communities. We continue to dictate,interfere, impose our ideas despite educated insight & analytical stats that indicate that this has negative impact...the resulting squalor & maladaptive lifestyle are a direct result of this!
It would take pages to elaborate on this.
What upsets me in there here & now is that effect of the negative comment
made by insensitive observers in these threads...such comments demonstrate that our public acclaim of regret & apologies are disingenuous!
How can you not see this? my God...hand outs? people are living in impoverished conditions, lacking safe drinking water in one of the richest countries in the world! Don;t believe me? do some research! children are mauled & killed by packs of wild dogs because there's no vet care in these communities
The basic human needs...things we take for granted as our basic rights...are lacking in these communities & you have the audacity to complain about handouts??? Your attitude is heartbreaking & inexcusable cause you have got everything going for you yet, you perpetuate hatred & racism in your oh so subtle high brow holier than thou attitude...try some EMPATHY, compassion maybe a HELPING HAND!
BTW KEFIR how do you explain the origin & history of this song???!!! Worlds away but it is the same story with the same disastrous outcome...substance abuse & poverty prevails following the arrogance of the white man. This Australian "aborigine" was taken from his family at the age of 3, his wife at the age of 8 ( she just passed away on Feb 17 )
@divadoodledoo I am not argueing that horrible things were done in the past. What I AM saying is that we need to move forward. Unless you prefer the present situation...
@kefri916 I see that your hate mongering & racism is posted on multiple similar threads! This is incorrigible! Your superficial voice of reason is layered with racism far more damaging to someone who is overtly racist. What is wrong with you? You are ignorant & insensitive & should learn to live & let live by refraining from posting hurtful comments on such sensitive topics. Why do you even bother? what are you trying to accomplish? You are ill informed & hateful & sicken me & I'm white!
@divadoodledoo - I have read some of your comments & you are very well informed about indigenous issues, interpet them very well with empathy & compassion.And I am Indigenous.
Are there more "white" Australians out there like you divadoodledoo as you seem to be a rarity.But still proof that Howard didnt fully succeed.
Indigenous people may still have an outside chance of justice if rampant Aussie 'psychosis" is not yet fully 100% complete. :) but is dangerously close to being complete :(
@casting4325 Thanks for the kind words...I am white, but not Australian:I'm Canadian...The suffering & disrespect of indigenous people is at the hands of the white man is Global I'm sad to say.
@divadoodledoo - If you dont mind me asking...how do you know so much about indigenous issues? how does one evolve that type of empathy...especially for Indigenous people...as I have found it is very rare.And I find that strange considering AVATAR is the biggest earning movie of all time.
If your ever come down south come & visit Yuin land & it very beautiful & hopefully we will have a cultural centre for our mountains to educate people.But 1st we must stop the paternalism.See my home page.
@divadoodledoo So you would argue that giving more money to the chiefs disposal would help?? ( I did not use the term hand outs as I see you are a little sensitive about that word ) As you can see, free housing, food, education, etc IS NOT WORKING!!!
Try opening your eyes and think logically instead of basing you ideas on emotions and pity. I have the feeling you think we should live in an NDP socialist union controlled country as well.
@kefri916 nope, not a socialist...sorry...not motivated by pity either.Ignorance breeds contempt & your outlook is distorted..
why do you feel compelled to violate this thread & diminish the passion of the story behind the song?
My heart aches over this.What is your heart saying...all I see coming from you is hate...you attempt to further denigrate a people who have been robbed of the essence of their being...just keep rubbing salt in their wounds but accept responsibility for hate mongering
@divadoodledoo You are right... if you look in my previous comments, I did not intend to distract from the video.
I'm not sure how you got so confused. Can we agree that the present situation is terrible? Can we then agree that something needs to change? O do you prefer the way it is being done, with political games by leaders who are only looking for your bleeding heart vote and NOT concerned with actualy fixing the problem.
True in every aspect...throwing money to appease the masses is NOT helping...by "Helping hand" I meant proactive practical hands on assistance... perhaps organize action based on respect & empathy...try to understand the root of the symptoms...contact "leaders" to seek a solution to the visible signs of apathy (trail of garbage).Seek support to organize a clean up & institute preventive measures perhaps...when despair prevails there is little chance to rise above poverty
@divadoodledoo I believe you. Just a couple weeks ago a young boy burnt to death on a reserve here. His parents had abandonoed him, and the firefighters were to drunk to come to the rescue. When the chief was interviewed is ONLY point he brought up was that we should give them more money. I think the point needs to be brought up that if he had responsible parents it would not have happenned. It's just one one many similar stories.
@kefri916 everywheree yoou go , yoour gunnaa see traash dont matter if yoour whitee nativee blaack spanish korean asain ;

kefri, if some hateful person wrote on your page, bad things about your people, and you find it annoying to keep defending yourself over and over and over again, what would you do? Me? I block them. it's simpler than continuing to "attempt" to explain myself to them.
Why is it when we either say things to defend ourselves, or attempt to explain ourselves, or simply "block" bigots, we get accused of "hating"? Why is that?
I love everyone, all peoples, but I DO NOT have to listen to haters.
Look, I know there have been terrible things done to your people in the past. There have been ( is ) evil people of EVERY color! There have been bad desicions made by people of every race! So when I here the usual "the white devils are a disease wherever they go" bullshit it makes me angry! Indian were fighting each other before white arrived!! Whites had a different way of life yes, some things not too good, but most were picked up on immediately by by your "perfect" race!
We had our own systems, yes. Oddly "WE WERE THE ONES" who created "treaties", the non-native government used our "perfect systems" against our people. You sound uneducated about Native history. For one thing, "WE are NOT Indians". Indians are from India. Columbus was a bit of an idiot. He told his people we were Indians because he didn't want to admit he was lost. He was suppose to be in India. Unfortunately for us, he ended up here. =)
A Saskatchewan farmer with 1,000 acres of farmland felt that maybe the natives were mistreated by the white man 200 years ago, so he gave 100 acres to the Aboriginal people. Five years have passed, and that 100 acres was never farmed. It now sits full of burned out stolen cars. We cannot help people who are not willing to help themselves. Our government of the future will be controlled by Muslims. The native people will some day be forced to work for a living.
Oh, but they did that also. Read the manuscripts of Columbus. Although he wrote to Queen Isabella that these were the kindest people he had met in all his travels, he immediately chained them, threw them in the bottom of the boat and took them to her as slaves then returned with an army, enslaved them and shipped those who would rebel to islands in the carribien ... in slave ships.
I love this song! I am a Lakota from South Dakota! I guess ihatechocolatepeople is as ignorant as most white people about the plight of Native People in US or First Nations People in Canada! We are not Indians! We are not from India!
The nuns, priests and boarding school did a hideous job of educating children and created generations that were not given parenting skills, coping skills, childrearing, childbearing which were supposed to have been passed down but the transmission was stopped!
If you are not Indigenous then you will not know the full extent to what this means. If anything should be "cut off" it should be the continual denial of Indigenous rights. Denying the rights to land, language, culture is like denying you the right to breathe. The forceful removal of children was a disguisting practice that should never be forgotten. Indigenous peoples should never give up the fight to have their rights recognised as peoples. Never! Stay strong peoples.
Normalman50 ur forgetting one thing, um..Indigenous peoples survived for thousands of years without the white mans "cheques", before the invasion of our native lands. Indigenous peoples rights to land, culture and natural justice were cut off by the invasion of their country.
Actually his name is "normalman" Smokeofthesun. =) I suspect he's angry because we fight for our rights, and he thinks he has a bit of power over us. It's amusing actually. LOL
The Union Jack bares testiment to the handling of Native People's in Canada. Why weren't these children allowed to attend school where they were raised? The shame of it all !
Many first nations people have had similar experiences. In Australia we call ourselves the "Stolen Generation". Archie Roach, was a member and he and his wife Ruby became street kids, and survived life on the streets, Seeing him live and singing this song is so special. It always brings me to tears. Peace, love *& light to all our brothers and sisters, and Karla Kooliny, welcome to our campfire to let the healing begin.
Interesting ... tell us more about this ... I have not heard about this before ... The Time of the Burning / THe Clearances ... was this done by the Church of England? / England / English Royalty? I have just now tried to do a search on these phrases, but I don't seem to be coming up with the right story .
Governments try to make up with money, but without changing the attitude! Did the Lakota get Paha Sapa back? Or an official excuse, something like "What was done to you and your ancestors was wrong, was horrible and inhuman and we are sorry for this!" Anything like that so far? NO - JUST MONEY!!! What did John Lame deer say? Frog skin - that's all they care for.... and it is still the same, even if individuals are changing and starting to understand. Right?
If you go to Asuncion and have a look around: the crime against Indian Nations still goes on!! They won't murder with rifles anymore (although in Brazil, many of those who try to stop the killing of the rain forrest, are still shot like rabbits), but they are camping under plastic covers in the middle of the capital with their children sick from cold and rain and hunger - just to protest against land robbing and lack of help from authorities!! Same story again and again! They die in the streets
Look at South America now: The first nations here are still treated like ... no, worse than animals! They try to survive and are given no chance. I see this every day: if they don't drop their religion and way of life completely and "assimilate" the white way - they die. Literally. Not only spiritually, psychologically. They die because the governments give a damn when they have no water left or food. No education available, no medical care, nothing. Their land has more value than their lives!
Love this vid. I am an indigenous australian and a big fan of archie roach.Cant believe you have to cop the same bigotry we do whenever we put up a video of our history.what are people so afraid of??
christopher columbus, jacques cartier the conquistadors and many other explorers have all kidnapped, chanined, whipped, tourchered and murdered First Nations people and were also forced into slavery in europe as well. It's not widely known but it has happened to First Nations as well.
Normalman48 is contradicting himself by even watching this video. Normalman48, if you didn't notice this is a tribute to these children who suffered. I bet some people in your family are high up in a church somewhere. Am I right? Well I will ruin a secret for you. Jesus wasn't white. His skin complexion would have been similar to that of First Nations people. How does it feel to know your entire pathetic life is based on a bunch of lies. You can take your church and go f*ck yourself with it.
Regular Canadians lose up to 50% of their earnings to a corrupt government each and every year, while a large majority of natives get welfare for life, which comes from those taxes we pay.

The Canadian Government's attempt intention to force the assimilation of the Aboriginal peoples in Canada into European-Canadian society and "killing the Indian in the child" had failed. A faith worst than death, the inhumany manner.
FluXez00 1 year ago
In Canada, over 100,000 thousand children were taken from their homes starting in 1840, and most had no contact with their parents for up to 10 months, or some would not even see their parents for years. When the last Indian residential school closed in 1996 only 50,000 thousand children returned home, some going home to find that their parents had died, or some had no where to go, therefore starting a life on their own with the little education the Indian residential school provided.

Their was also a system the govenment had it was called the third race meaning The out breeding our race. WHITE MAN LIES THRU HIS TEETH TO ALL MANKIND HE WILL BE THE DEATH OF US SOON.

Beautiful song. Why we treated our native people like that is beyond me. Instead of trying to get along with the Native Americans, First Nations, Aboriginal people, we kill them, force them into reservations, make them feel like worthless people, make them feel ashamed of who they are.

Depends on how you mean that. Historically, no, although I don't think everything was perfect before whites, the invaders DID change the way of life for natives and inflicted alot of suffering. I am not excusing that.
But to say that the current problems are solely the cause of whites is not going to help. Sooner or later some responsibility needs to be taken on one's own problems.

So an a slightly different note, can I pose a question to you guys...
What do you think should happen in order to fix the problems faced in the native communities today? Rather then playing the blame game about the past, what can we do to make the future better?
They way it is now is very depressing. I can follow a trail of trash from our town to the reserve. The prisons are full of natives. The streets are full of native gangs. Seeing this makes it hard not to be racist for me...
kefri916 2 years ago
We are already striving towards what makes a better life for ourselves kefri, thank you for asking. We don't need anyone's permission for that.
As for native gangs, there are many races of gangs not just native gangs and we believe we are handling ours well in our own communities. Many times, in many races, young people just need to feel "like they need to belong", so they join forces with other teens. It's a common problem. To make headway, we join w/other groups and put our head together.

@ReiRaine This kefri916 has guilt. There is nothing much you can say to a person who is guilty. There is no defense for them, and even if they say it there is no strength.
We all know stealing children, stealing land, and genocide are wrongs that can never be fixed.

@ReiRaine you damage your own history by not telling it fully. You have this youtube ranting on about po po indians. But, how about one about showing the scalps indians took. How about including the women and children you kidnapped and never returned and sold away. Talk about the constant warring. You damage your own history by omissions and lies. Tell the entire truth about indians then compare it to whites.

@kefri916 we can not forgot get the pass ever becuz all this kids are punish at a young age didnt have a good life style soo thats when acholic came in to forget the pain they had what the europeans did to the first nation ppl and some of survivors to this day but i have my grandy and half my family members been in residental schools and this is for my home work and i wanted to say what i think about it

@kefri916 it is odd that whites are blamed for the treament of indians and the bloody savagery of indians is completely omitted from history.
.
but, it is more comfy, kinda warm and fuzzy to be exonerated for any and all of your actions simply by playing the victim of something that happened hundreds of years ago.
.
they wave it like a flag that happened only yesterday all the while, drugs, alcohol abuse, domestic violence, rape & incest run rampant on the res and they do nothing

@curatrix2008 that is just terrible, and i am not an aboriginal. they raped them and beat them and didn't feed them. they stole their culture and did you forget that the aboriginals were the first people there. we stole their country and their land. both sides did bad things, i admit that. by we are not here to blame and hate. we are here to educate. make sure that this never happens again, to anyone. plus, nothing is being taken from the whites. calm down.

IMO: Your comment seems accusatory & damning & totally defeats the the buffer of your concern & offer of solution.
When basic needs are not met, apathy & despondency result. The "trail of trash" to which you refer is a symptom of that.
It was very insensitive of you to suggest an interest to "fix the problems" & then make criticisms. Honestly ask yourself how easily YOU can forgive a transgressor.
Search your heart & imagine yourself in similar situations.BTW...I am white,

@divadoodledoo I am not in an way saying it will be easy to fix the current vicious cycle of abuse, poverty, and violence.
What I am saying though, is that it can only be fixed when natives, as a whole, stop pointing fingers, taking handouts, and take responsibility for the position they are in. No that is not easy. But is the only way.
Have you ever lived by a reserve?

kefri: I do not deny that there are issues with the conditions on reservations...yes, I have been to Six Nations in Brantford. I have nursed in Northern Communities. We continue to dictate,interfere, impose our ideas despite educated insight & analytical stats that indicate that this has negative impact...the resulting squalor & maladaptive lifestyle are a direct result of this!
It would take pages to elaborate on this.
What upsets me in there here & now is that effect of the negative comment

@divadoodledoo - I have read some of your comments & you are very well informed about indigenous issues, interpet them very well with empathy & compassion.And I am Indigenous.
Are there more "white" Australians out there like you divadoodledoo as you seem to be a rarity.But still proof that Howard didnt fully succeed.

@divadoodledoo So you would argue that giving more money to the chiefs disposal would help?? ( I did not use the term hand outs as I see you are a little sensitive about that word ) As you can see, free housing, food, education, etc IS NOT WORKING!!!
Try opening your eyes and think logically instead of basing you ideas on emotions and pity. I have the feeling you think we should live in an NDP socialist union controlled country as well.

My heart aches over this.What is your heart saying...all I see coming from you is hate...you attempt to further denigrate a people who have been robbed of the essence of their being...just keep rubbing salt in their wounds but accept responsibility for hate mongering

@divadoodledoo You are right... if you look in my previous comments, I did not intend to distract from the video.
I'm not sure how you got so confused. Can we agree that the present situation is terrible? Can we then agree that something needs to change? O do you prefer the way it is being done, with political games by leaders who are only looking for your bleeding heart vote and NOT concerned with actualy fixing the problem.
Do not confuse caring with enabling.
kefri916 2 years ago
True in every aspect...throwing money to appease the masses is NOT helping...by "Helping hand" I meant proactive practical hands on assistance... perhaps organize action based on respect & empathy...try to understand the root of the symptoms...contact "leaders" to seek a solution to the visible signs of apathy (trail of garbage).Seek support to organize a clean up & institute preventive measures perhaps...when despair prevails there is little chance to rise above poverty

@divadoodledoo I believe you. Just a couple weeks ago a young boy burnt to death on a reserve here. His parents had abandonoed him, and the firefighters were to drunk to come to the rescue. When the chief was interviewed is ONLY point he brought up was that we should give them more money. I think the point needs to be brought up that if he had responsible parents it would not have happenned. It's just one one many similar stories.

kefri, if some hateful person wrote on your page, bad things about your people, and you find it annoying to keep defending yourself over and over and over again, what would you do? Me? I block them. it's simpler than continuing to "attempt" to explain myself to them.
Why is it when we either say things to defend ourselves, or attempt to explain ourselves, or simply "block" bigots, we get accused of "hating"? Why is that?

Whites had a different way of life yes, some things not too good, but most were picked up on immediately by by your "perfect" race!
kefri916 2 years ago
We had our own systems, yes. Oddly "WE WERE THE ONES" who created "treaties", the non-native government used our "perfect systems" against our people. You sound uneducated about Native history. For one thing, "WE are NOT Indians". Indians are from India. Columbus was a bit of an idiot. He told his people we were Indians because he didn't want to admit he was lost. He was suppose to be in India. Unfortunately for us, he ended up here. =)

A Saskatchewan farmer with 1,000 acres of farmland felt that maybe the natives were mistreated by the white man 200 years ago, so he gave 100 acres to the Aboriginal people. Five years have passed, and that 100 acres was never farmed. It now sits full of burned out stolen cars. We cannot help people who are not willing to help themselves. Our government of the future will be controlled by Muslims. The native people will some day be forced to work for a living.
Normalman48 2 years ago
Oh, but they did that also. Read the manuscripts of Columbus. Although he wrote to Queen Isabella that these were the kindest people he had met in all his travels, he immediately chained them, threw them in the bottom of the boat and took them to her as slaves then returned with an army, enslaved them and shipped those who would rebel to islands in the carribien ... in slave ships.

If you are not Indigenous then you will not know the full extent to what this means. If anything should be "cut off" it should be the continual denial of Indigenous rights. Denying the rights to land, language, culture is like denying you the right to breathe. The forceful removal of children was a disguisting practice that should never be forgotten. Indigenous peoples should never give up the fight to have their rights recognised as peoples. Never! Stay strong peoples.

Normalman50 ur forgetting one thing, um..Indigenous peoples survived for thousands of years without the white mans "cheques", before the invasion of our native lands. Indigenous peoples rights to land, culture and natural justice were cut off by the invasion of their country.

Many first nations people have had similar experiences. In Australia we call ourselves the "Stolen Generation". Archie Roach, was a member and he and his wife Ruby became street kids, and survived life on the streets, Seeing him live and singing this song is so special. It always brings me to tears.

From Scotland: We lost our youth to "The Time of the Burning", or as some call it "The Clearances".
One line in this song will ALWAYS link us with our brothers in Canada:
"Like our blood red brothers of the plains"
From the album "The Cutter and The Clan" by Runrig, and the track "Rocket To The Moon"
"Still the homelands divide us
Like our blood red brothers of the plains
Where they grieve a candle still burns
A prayer from a flicker to a flame.

Governments try to make up with money, but without changing the attitude! Did the Lakota get Paha Sapa back? Or an official excuse, something like "What was done to you and your ancestors was wrong, was horrible and inhuman and we are sorry for this!" Anything like that so far? NO - JUST MONEY!!! What did John Lame deer say? Frog skin - that's all they care for.... and it is still the same, even if individuals are changing and starting to understand. Right?

If you go to Asuncion and have a look around: the crime against Indian Nations still goes on!! They won't murder with rifles anymore (although in Brazil, many of those who try to stop the killing of the rain forrest, are still shot like rabbits), but they are camping under plastic covers in the middle of the capital with their children sick from cold and rain and hunger - just to protest against land robbing and lack of help from authorities!! Same story again and again! They die in the streets

Look at South America now: The first nations here are still treated like ... no, worse than animals! They try to survive and are given no chance. I see this every day: if they don't drop their religion and way of life completely and "assimilate" the white way - they die. Literally. Not only spiritually, psychologically. They die because the governments give a damn when they have no water left or food. No education available, no medical care, nothing. Their land has more value than their lives!

I bet some people in your family are high up in a church somewhere. Am I right? Well I will ruin a secret for you. Jesus wasn't white. His skin complexion would have been similar to that of First Nations people. How does it feel to know your entire pathetic life is based on a bunch of lies. You can take your church and go f*ck yourself with it.
