  • you complain about poverty, yet for example there are houses waiting to be moved to attawapiskat and on hold because you are too lazy to dig and pour a foundation! and these houses are GIVEN to you!

    LAZY! but yet you'll all still bitch and complain. you sleep in the bed you make.

  • For those of you in here who seem to suffer from Canada's greatest disease when it comes to culture -- ignorance -- I suggest checking out CBC's latest, and excellent attempt at bridging the gap between Aboriginal peoples and the rest of us. It's called "8th Fire". I think it is a 3-part series with the 3rd still to be aired.

  • i send this to the attractive Indigenous women who have nerve and a drive to conquer and survive.....and that means not rotting at Harveys or a gas station!.....rise and achieve!>>watch>>"Mahafsoun Photoshoots 2011 "...............surely youre as brave as this Farsi woman! her kids gonna eat real food! and get the best education!

  • My gift to the First Nations-vid response to follow.

  • @moesersC1 another thing the french were really good at was the french kiss

    monseur..

  • @316bluethunder sounds like you natives have it all under control ,so quit your crying you sound like a baby lol

  • @moesersC1 thank you for opening your big mouth......right back at you.....

  • @moesersC1 there is natural gas, fresh water,minerals,chromite and your calling us names???

  • @moesersC1 of course we dont need the white man to tell us evrything am communicating with you with a computer of which i never used a computer in my life.I went on line 8 months ago.All this while I hear Tax Dollars my tax money,when the treaties were signed our forefathers were illiterate they didnt deliberate with the traety comissioners to design the treaties or to say we want this.And all this while we have all these resources...????
