They just want a little piece... that's all.

Yep.

If the cheque to the Chief is big enough, they will organize a smudging ceremony and then all will be good in using that name and person in any way they want

 

[Danbones]

same as any trademark lawsuit

AS a Metis ( the huron...remember them? No, I bet you don't), I can say the important things about native civilization have survived with the still sovereign Iroquois Six Nations, whose constitution is admittedly the basis of the US constitution.

That's all... a little slice to help the healing.

 

[Danbones]

Yeah like the BILLIONs the US payed to Israel..the difference is we counted the (10 little) indians

 

[petros]

Plains Cree are upset? They invaded the West in step with F-cking Whitie and took Dene slaves.

 

[Danbones]

Like the muslims that have invaded Europe...next they will be doing the same thing, HaHa

The question is; did the Poundmaker Cree TM the name?

... on that note, I'd have to wonder if it was the english speaking gvt that provided that name in lieu of this FNs traditional language name, so, who would really own those rights (if they still existed)?

 

[petros]

It would have been French names translated to English.

Oral history always supersedes written history, in the article they pretty much claim everything history recorded is false. Claiming fighting colonialism not fighting for their own version, Chief wrongfully convicted and never raided the fort it was NWMP own troops did that to themselves. like wow

edit: forgot to mention that white man starved the First Canadians to force them to the treaty table

 

[petros]

The sacking and looting of Battleford didn't happen? There was no Northwest Rebellion?

 

[Twin_Moose]

The article states that the NWMP looted themselves

 

[petros]

That's nuts. Everybody some Natives included and the NWMP took refuge in the Fort.

 

[captain morgan]

It would have been French names translated to English.

Either way...

Thankfully, you'll never have to know what it feels like to see your teenage son's death being mocked.

Yes, that is someone dressed as Trayvon Martin. Yes, you're looking at someone in blackface. In 2013.

People who like to throw around the phrase 'white privilege' never seem to come up with a reason why white people came to run just about everything in the world to begin with.

If you hate "the man" you see the rule of law as tyranny.

Yes, and they fail to explain why all these losers always want to go to White countries.
