Crews find ancient aboriginal bones along pipeline route

[CDNBear]

Now it is a sacred burial ground????

No, it's an archaeological find.

You know the authors of most news articles, including ones at First Perspective, write their articles at a 9th grade level so people like you can actually understand them.

The least you could do is give it a try.

LOL!

I agree.

This finding of bones does not mean they need to shut down.

Why not?

But I am sure the Indians will make a big deal out of it, and again we shall pay, somehow they will find a way that we will pay.

Actually, once they were informed, all they did was watch the remains being removed.

Are there any mass media (Obviously via the boob tube) stereotypes you don't believe verbatim?

" Why did you stop work?"

Ans

"I found something interesting!"

Fk, stupid or what !!

 

[CDNBear]

There are laws and regs they are required to follow. You have a problem with the rule of law when First Nations are involved?

Why should she be any different than most provincial gov'ts and a great many member here at CC?

I agree, your post was stupid.

Which forces me to ask. Why would you embarrass yourself by posting it?

Many, many people do. It's downright hysterical how quickly people change their tunes on their principles when First Nations are involved.

Never could understand pure hatred. It is an emotion I am blessed with not having.

My favourite are those that distrust the gov't or police, until the gov't or police are involved in some negative way with First Nations.

Then suddenly the gov't and police can do no wrong, lol.

Exactly what I was thinking of actually.

 

[petros]

You movin? Go West.

I think he already did.

"Go West" has two meanings.

Funny how the very member I was thinking of has been rather quiet these days, while hunny runs around making an *** of himself.

I'd say he's more "gone south"....many, many, many years back would be my guess.

 

[petros]

Go west means to go gay but yeah what the hell add going south in there too.

 

[SLM]

Nothing wrong with going gay anyway...Yeah Pride!

Did not know that one. Must be a western term?????

 

[petros]

Nope. It's an old term too. There are even songs about it.

I am all for stopping work when archeological finds are discovered.

I have been involved in stoppages like this. Most of the finds we have are Colonial Era and it is pretty interesting seeing them.

That is a really good point. After the An'ini burnt South Branch House on the Saskatchewan in 1792, they fought a protracted running fight eventually ending up n Montana. There are An'ini graves on my Grandfathers lands, and we never broke the graves areas for crops.

Do we tell the FSA or Indian Affairs? Not on your life. The Ani'ni elders know, and that's it.

Northern Saskatchewan farmers have a pretty good record, in the ethnic blocs, of protecting native graves form disturbance. One of my third cousins set aside a quarter section as a nature preserve, with the graves inside it.

There are very few traces of the pre European settlement in Sask, and a lot of room to re route pipelines.

The lawn at the cemetery gets mowed weekly. If somebody is buried beneath my land they can keep on pushing canola like the dead in the weekly mowed cemetery push daisies.

 

[Cliffy]

Funny how people get upset about disturbing a settler grave yard and call it hollowed ground, but a native burial site is fair game. People in the Slocan Valley used to find aboriginal skulls, exposed by river undercutting a bank where a native burial site was, and put the skulls on the fence post marking the entry to their driveways. Thought it was cool, until the Sinixt came home.

 

[petros]

This wasn't a "sacred burial place". if it were, it would still be active and marked like a cemetery that gets mowed weekly. The bones will come in handy for archeologists and the line will go through.

There is nothing to jump up and down about.

Ya, that's pretty much what the article said...

That's probably why people had to start making stuff up.

 

[petros]

Probably.
