Your right as it applies to the Indians.
We educated them and now they are taking us to our courts and sueing our asses off.
Should have left them stupid but still looked after them. See we lose again eh!!

I heard a gal on the radio said something to the effect of " the Elders better smarten the hell up and get over their bitterness and racism over residential schools and invest in on Rez education. In Canada my kids don't stand out as different in the classroom. It's no longer us and them".
Of course it is now us and them , and the natives pretty much like us better then them .
Why is it now with Canada being a multicultural country that we still need a White person (Libs have white women) to deal or work with the natives???
Just where are these other whining visible minorities, why aren't they negotiating with the natives???
Once again, it's the Whiteman doing the heavy lifting, while the vis mins try to look busy.

Nor should you.
I don't feel any need to apologize for my presence here. I do very much want to know the true history. Not false history.
And I think that they have a right to have their truth brought to light, its their history. I grew up between farms and reservations on Vancouver island. I heard tons about my peoples history. Good and the bad.
What choice do they have when the incoming look at them and say "you hauve access to funding for you to get a PhD on top of a guaranteed 1-13 in a heated building with indoor plumbing and you spit at it?"
The real history about the natives has now been forever altered. All the negative history about the natives has been sterilized and removed from libraries and other sources.
I know because during one weekend I spent all weekend searching for books addressing many unpopular natives topics that I knew existed when I was in university reading these fine accurate historical books. They are all gone now.
Yes, I relate very well to all types of people who carry their share of responsibility
Tribes all over the world have enslaved and/or killed neighbouring tribes. N.A. Indians, African tribes, some countries are still doing it, Afghanistan, mid-Eastern countries.
Yet these are the same people who come to Canada now and whine about being insulted and otherwise 'mistreated'.
Have you ever been mistreated by a Botswanan?
Have you ever been mistreated by a Native Canadian?
We need more Botswanans.

Perhaps the best way to handle any group who whines about being segregated, hurt, killed or otherwise hard done by, should be cut off from any and all help. The only entitlements would be what average Canadian might receive. No more financially draining special interest groups. Time to stop putting their hand into the taxpayer's pocket.
Almost everyone would agree with this except for politicians running for public office and any special interest group looking for free money.

Not all of them. There were plenty of instances were kids were removed from their homes for no good reason other than to educate the Indian out of them. Now, I'm not saying absolutely no good came out of the residential schools. As I said, they weren't all hell-holes. I've run across a few Native people who went through the residential school system and benefited greatly from it, their words. I've also run across many others who were obviously damaged by the whole process.
At least one, St Mary's, performed nutritional experiments on the kids. There must have been something bad about those experiments because when the RCMP was finished with their investigation in the late '90s, the federal Liberals buried the report deep and gagged the RCMP.
Well-intentioned? The residential school system was designed to destroy indigenous culture. Did a pretty good job didn't it?
Unfortunately, there are many here who think turning them into apples was a good thing. Yup, some of them embraced to mindless consumer, rape and pillage mind set of the dominant culture. Wow! I guess we'll see who came out on top when we are all choking in our own effluent.
