Canada’s race problem? It’s even worse than America’s.

Everyone knows many of the chiefs are corrupt.


and I suppose that's "whitey's fault also. :roll:


So-called democracy breeds corruption and it is foreign to indigenous culture. It is a system imposed on them by the Indian Act.


ROFLMFAO, I see you decided not to learn a damn thing from Bear.
The Six Nations: Oldest Living Participatory Democracy on Earth




But all that is in the process of changing and when it does, you ain't seen nothin' yet. The grass roots are rising up against their own so called leaders and their power is growing. Their women were their natural leaders and I'm not talking about the corrupt apples that government has pushed into council positions. This summer will see radical changes in this country and most of you capitalist lackies are about to get a rude awakening.






Don't hold your breath or put money on it Cliffy, cause it ain't gonna happen the way you are dreamin.

There were about 2500 different cultures and languages. I studied Oglala and was indoctrinated into western Cree, but I take a more universal world view that includes Zen, metaphysics, parapsychology, quantum physics and mechanics and much more. They are my personal views and have no ascociation with any particular brand or dogma.

.




In other words, you can't call it "native spirituality" either, like you have been. Anything else you want to admit to "bending" to fit your agenda?

The sad part is that by the end of the summer we will have forgotten this thread and we won't be able to rub his face in it.

Beats sucking up to a bunch of feminists like you.



With idiot's like you it takes a long time for simple sh!t like Natural everyday phenomenon's to sink in, So I have to talk real slow and repeat myself many times.
And misspell words and use poor grammar and punctuation. It all helps.

Wow, if we ever needed proof that Cons are racist arseholes, this thread is a goldmine.

Wow, if ever you needed proof of an idiot... Just read the blanket statement in the quote above.

Racism does not have a political stripe, nor does stupidity.

It's equal opportunity.

No, I mean which native spiritual view? Please tell me you don't think there's just one, or even just a hundred.

Beaver worship for me.

The aboriginals of North America, South America, Africa and Australia all suffered an Outside Context Problem. From Iain M Banks:

"The usual example given to illustrate an Outside Context Problem was imagining you were a tribe on a largish, fertile island; you'd tamed the land, invented the wheel or writing or whatever, the neighbors were cooperative or enslaved but at any rate peaceful and you were busy raising temples to yourself with all the excess productive capacity you had, you were in a position of near-absolute power and control which your hallowed ancestors could hardly have dreamed of and the whole situation was just running along nicely like a canoe on wet grass... when suddenly this bristling lump of iron appears sailless and trailing steam in the bay and these guys carrying long funny-looking sticks come ashore and announce you've just been discovered, you're all subjects of the Emperor now, he's keen on presents called tax and these bright-eyed holy men would like a word with your priests."

Sorry, but the fact that someone on this forum pushed the blame onto FN groups and got 7 likes for it proves this place is infested with racist conbots.


There is no two ways about it.

Asking stupid questions might. Everyone knows many of the chiefs are corrupt. It is no different than any level of Canadian governments. So-called democracy breeds corruption and it is foreign to indigenous culture. It is a system imposed on them by the Indian Act. But all that is in the process of changing and when it does, you ain't seen nothin' yet. The grass roots are rising up against their own so called leaders and their power is growing.

We're going to have a whole thread on this starting later this month so we hope you will participate.


We're hoping Cliffy can shed some light on all of these changes and stuff.
