In the present economic/political context the importance of the Inuit is not even detectable, the resources are the exact opposite. They (the Inuit) should press for the very best deal from the alien entity known as Canada while arming themselves and opening dialogue with other Arctic peoples specifically Russia. The fastest route to ethnic extinction would be to rely on the good intentions of this nation (Canada) toward their people and the social welfare designs of Canadian fascists. Todays political atmosphere pretty much dictates their forced assimilation and the rape of their resources as fast as possible with little or no regard for the abos be they black white yellow or red.
This is true enough. Our culture, the main culture that has enveloped and taken control of civilization some thousands of years ago, is constructed in a way that only assimilation affords some sense of a past culture in little more than a novel setting. People fawn over what once was and wish they had a shot at it, but it's long gone. Pining for it does no good.
Treaties are like bargaining for hostages. Give you this give you that, yadda yadda yadda, it's all lip service. The ugly truth that few will even consider is that one and all are conquered at one time or another and that in fact, might makes right.
Survival of those most willing to kill off all who stand in the way then pillage all that was theirs is rule number one. No exceptions.
Back in the day, there used to be two options. Join up or die. Now that we're all about winning the hearts and minds, a third option has been added. It's particularly appealing to the most sadistic of the lot actually. You can now choose to stand aside and watch as the One Culture rapes and pillages it's way round and round the globe opening new frontiers of exploitation. The condition is that when the gaze of the all mighty One lands upon you, you best be smiling and nodding in agreement lest we feel slightly offended and take your head.
The cries of "I want I want I want" as those with great pride fall over each other to suckle at the arse of the One in hopes of a few drops of their own wealth that has long ago been consumed. In Canada your ancestors stood around patting themselves on the back for a job well done. In the US some of your ancestors held their fist in the air and stood their ground. Still better than those who met the Spanish. They couldn't even see it coming.
The rest patted themselves on the back and cheered for the virtue of welfare martyr. There is no deal with the Devil. There is no magical happy resolve for the cultures obliterated now and in the past. There is no compromise. Get in line or get your throat ripped out. That is the promise of the culture of the One.
Things are changing? It's going to get better tomorrow? Just gotta hold on a little longer? Good luck with that.
Understand this, ten thousand years ago One culture climbed out of the trees and said "mine". Deal with that.
