Now I was just thinking and this includes the Canadian West, or in general the whole American continent about the Aboriginal people of this whole Continent and the South American continent and how they controlled their own lives, they had huge cities and technology (Aztecs, Incas) Had the biggest cities in the world at one point and they had their own self-government, there own systems of trade and power within their own continent.
But now after meeting the Europeans they are in poverty that they can't get out of, in America, in Canada in South America. They are discriminated and there were attempts to destroy their cultures and stick them on non-rich resource land and crappy land for farming.
However, signs are getting better in Bolivia with the election of Morales, and Chavez seems to work well with Natives. And hopefully, someday someone will step up to help Natives in Canada.
