Canadians need an aboriginal history lesson

[MHz]

That's all well and good Medic, but what's the right path? Integration is considered abuse, segregation is considered abuse. No one can move in any direction without being called on it, except for the First Nations, and they don't seem to care to. What's the cure? I know all the history, and still all I see is an impasse.

Elevate them to an equivalent to 'monarch status' in a symbolic way that gives them a world tour rather than a squalid piece of dirt that can't even support the people sent there to live. How much have we made off the land that used to be theirs. lots compared to the few scrapes we allowed them to have

Canadians should be given the correct history lesson about what it was REALLY like for the natives to live in their tribes before the whiteman came. We all should be told the real hidden history, not only the side the natives want us to hear.
This should be done before we lose more of those who know the REAL history!!

Integration of aboriginals is not just called abuse but genocide, which is completely wrong. Or more accurately, "cultural genocide". Genocide is murder, if you're not murdering with violence, then it's not genocide.

In the old days, like much of the 20th century, when women had a black eye, they "fell". The police didn't care their husband beat them. Indians got treated about the same by the govt. Now the situation is different and violence against any member of society is forbidden. Now women can work, vote, and own property. Now Indians can do two of those three, they have to get the right to own property on their reserve to become independent. Which is what many Indians support. This is called progress.
