Saskatchewan: Land of living skies and a racial divide

[Cliffy]

Saskatchewan residents pride ourselves on being kind and lending a helping hand. We welcome immigrants and open our wallets to help when natural disaster strikes — in our province and elsewhere.
Yet the names Colten Boushie, Nadine Machiskinic and Kamao Cappo expose another side — an ugly side. Racial tensions have flared in recent years in connection with those names, but racism towards Indigenous people predates the creation of Saskatchewan as a province.

***​

The latest story to make headlines about Saskatchewan’s racial divide centred on Kamao Cappo, a resident of the Muscowpetung Sauteaux First Nation, who was accused of stealing while with a friend at a Canadian Tire store to buy a chainsaw. An employee allegedly assaulted him and forced them to leave the store.
Cappo’s videos of the incident created a firestorm on social media. He is recovering physically and emotionally after the altercation.
But the gaping wound of racism is far from healed.
Cappo has travelled across Canada and believes Saskatchewan and Manitoba to be the most racist places.
“In Saskatchewan, Saskatoon and Regina have to be right up there at the top in Canada for sure,” Cappo said. “That’s been my experience.”

Is that your issue.

Soooo this Injun is from Slamsack eh?

Why did he need to go to the 3hr drive to Regina to buy a chainsaw and steal a chain and bar? Is he banned from the stores in Kamsack and Yorkton?

Wagon Burners, Red Skins, whatever you want to call them.. First Nations, or Native Americans or Native Indians (vs. East Indians).

Sorta like in the USA, African American, get pissed off when I say Black folks, same thing, White folks..

I always ask; "Have you been to Africa?" Well Blacks. :lol:

The point I'm making is they weren't the first and they weren't native. They were invading conquerors just like the Europeans later on. The difference is the white folk didn't totally eradicate those already here whereas the second migration did.

Saskatchewan is so racially segregated that Jay Silverheels, who played a significant role in the movie, isn't even listed on the cast.
