Have you ever been to land treaty negotiations in BC? The government speaks with a forked tongue. I only mentioned the Sinixt because that is what I know most about. There are plenty of other, more important issues that are being ignored. As I said above, this issue is insignificant but it makes good PR on their part for those who do not know what is really going on here.So, as far as you're concerned. If the government doesn't recognize your claims and those of the Sinixt peoples, they shouldn't be doing anything for any other First Nations people. Is that right? If so, you really are an egotistical, self centered bastard.
I'm not saying or belittling the significance to the family. I'm addressing government hypocrisy.Obviously the family of those that were wrongly convicted and killed felt it was VERY significant. Or are things that are only significant to YOU to be given importance?

Yes, BC has a lot of work to do when it comes to First Nations. The majority do not even have a treaty. Treaty negotiations with the province and Feds have been a laugh, for the most part, with only a few advances.
I'm sorry if you interpret what I am say ing in that manner. I cannot control how you interpret it.What you are suggesting is, that if Sinixt are not recognized and taken care of, then nothing should be done with anything else.
As above.yes you are, and you are using this family to further your agenda against the government. You lessen the significance of their pain to further YOUR agenda.

Is there any real evidence that these two were wrongly convicted. Is there any evidence other than tribal alders remembering
the muttering of their fathers and grand fathers. There are court records. Maybe the families of the shipwreck survivors that
these two killed should sue the tribe.
Anietsachist and Katkinna were accused of murdering crew members from the ship John Bright, which was driven ashore on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
Despite conflicting testimony, an inquest conducted by members of the HMS Sparrowhawk concluded that Anietsachist and Katkinna killed Bright and his wife, a statement from the government said.
The men were hanged in public at a gallows erected on the beach.

Lots of money
Still assigning a Red is not an answer. Or is answering the question a problem as it may or may show bias on your part? It does appear that money is key to you yet I have not read of any monetary compensation.Not an answer.

What guilt are you referring to.First comes the admission of guilt. That only occurs when somebody feels they have been wronged.
we felt that this was one area that had to be dealt with before we could move forward with any other matters," she said from a ceremony with the Hesquiaht and other bands.
I bet those matters involve significant amounts of money
Is that opinion? Or do you have some proof.
History is a good indicator.
Also a good place to find bias, prejudice and misinformation.
