Indigenous Peoples' Mistreatment Has Become The World's #1 Problem

The Indian industry has better things to spend our tax dollars on than education. Like High pay for chiefs and their families. Multiple layers of bureaucrats that syphon money out of the system for no reason other than job protection. Tax$$$$ going to what they were intended for? HAHAHAHA.
Being of a people/culture that was in Canada before European colonization.
Still waiting on what "Canadian values" are, so you're a step ahead of me.
Heard a speaker on the subject some months back... A female first nations anthropologist focusing on the Canadian situation.
She used an extremely interesting phrase in referencing the various indigenous groups (tribes) and their origins... The phrase was 'the first of the first nations' and used to identify a pecking order as far as I could see.
It sent a strong message that not all FN tribes are equal in terms of indigenousness.... Ultimately, one can only wonder what the definitive description is of being indigenous if this distinction is being made within the ranks of the FN communities in Canuckistan.
With respect to your definition, that argument can be taken further according to this anthropologist
You wanted a definition, I gave you my educated estimation of what it is.
If you want to spend your time chasing microconflicts within groups to which you do not belong, have at it. Everybody needs a hobby.
A microconflict?... Interesting.
This lady made the beginnings of the argument that your definition will be taken far further than pre-European... But, that's your definition, mine is mine and Joe Palooka's is his

Cherokee DNA is mostly ancient greek. I guess that explains their propensity to own slaves.

LOL, before European civilization eh? The Cherokee were European civilization.
Also, a while back, one of their senior shamans and I had an interesting talk about the similarities between the Cherokee and Welsh languages.
gawd the BS never stops does it?

Yes, a microconflict. As in, a conflict amongst a small minority (of a small minority) that has no impact of any significance to the larger group. Transsubstantiation vs. consubstantiation. Homoousian vs. homoiousian. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind/To suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune/Or to take arms against a sea of troubles/And by opposing end them?
Yeah? Think this'll have a huge impact on TransCanada's stock price, the makeup of Parliament, or whether Torontonians remain self-absorbed douchebags or catch a clue?

The rights game is ongoing here as a power play... Period.
the average individual on the average reserve gets the shit end of the stick and suffer because of it.
Minority is pitted against majority based on a definition of indigenous that is not really defined.... tackle that issue and many people feel some form of impact
Quite possibly
Nothing will ever change that.. center of the universe an all
Does one have to be 100% of that people/culture or is it 50% or 10% ? Please enlighten me .

Many of the scholarly culprits of the past have been linguists. They proclaimed that there were runes on the stone that didn’t exist in the language in 1362, and so therefore the stone must be a hoax, which is to say it was carved by Olof Ohman. But then new discoveries of medieval runes in Europe dating to the correct period would emerge. Suddenly the tables are turned - how could a farmer have known about these runes decades before the academics discovered them?

You can choose if you are male or female but to belong to a group you have to take what was around in 1500AD? How about a 6 week course that is multiple choice and online, at the end you have the ethnic background of your choice and if a white guy want to be an Indian on the Rez then that is what he becomes. Old Europe doesn't allow changes and that is more like a tradition that goes back to 300AD. Gentiles could become a member of the 12 Tribes after a few decades. Mistreatment has been around sine the concept of somebody being the master over somebody else came into being, in other words caveman times.
