A 100 mile road through the wilderness in your own territory should be pretty easy to sabotage.

Bottom line, no real human wants to spread destruction, pollution, like the motor on the boat, we should do are best to undo/stop the damage

DNA evidence shows without a doubt that natives are very closely related to northern siberians/asians. They even speak similar languages on both sides of the sea. There is no doubt.

The internet and youtube is a very effective way for the indigenous people of America to tell the world what the whites are doing to them. The Canadian government is a proxy British government and it is the British who are stealing this land of all its natural minerals recourses while the indigenous people live in poverty. I am from Indian and I am proud to say we kicked the British out of our land after suffering too much hardships and humiliations.

God the great creator created all thing seen and unseen. When God finished creating the earth he decided to create man and put man on every continent. He made the man unique to the earth he took to form man. That is why we are so different from each other. We are the handy work of God, The natives did not come to Turtle Island this is the whites lie, the natives are off this part of the earth that God took to form them. They should not be called First Nations.

Hello snyderdu23,

I believe there is a DNA test one can undertake now to determine where you came from but be prepared for a shock as I believe this test will take you way back past where you want to go & may wish to be linked ??? It may prove more than you could possibly imagine

Good Luck

Actually Barrett, that's just a theory. There's loads of archaeological evidence out there that proves otherwise
