The most ridiculous form of virtue signaling. First off, who did those tribes conquer to take that land? You could pretty much go anywhere in the world and make some claim like this. Finally, if these people were that guilty then go sell your land or find members of the tribe and give away your land
Pretty much, most countries that exist today were won by conquest and they are just as guilty of that as the rest of us.
Were the Americans a bit more shitty to them in history? I could argue yes since they were a bit salty that they sided with the British a lot but since independence there's been A LOT of bad blood and atrocities on both sides, just one side had more firepower.
I mean, were we? Those tribes are still around, the ones they took the land from don't appear to be. Maybe what the US did seems worse than what they did to each other because we recorded doing it.
I dont know, I think canada deserve's some props for their version.
All countries were doing it, with the help of churches. Destroying their culture so they could steal their lands. I think they(the indians) do deserve to have a bigger role in government lmao.
I think if politicians had to take a spirit quest before taking office, we might not have so many rich corrupt shit heads in control.
But canada was something else. Besides abducting children with gunships to take them to the residential schools.
Just learned today about how the government killed many of their dogs in the 50's and 60's.
Canadians are super good at convincing themselves whatever they are doing needs to be done. This story sounds completely bogus in the comments.
This is very true. Had a chum from highschool join the Gravel Road Crew shortly after highschool and spent 2 years in a northern community.
Had some disturbing stories about select members of the community intentionally breeding massive & agressive dogs.
Got so bad they had to requisition special bear stopping slug ammo for their shotguns. They were emptying them and their service weapons into the things but they wouldn't stop, even with essentially no face or skull left they would still be advancing.
Had to basically turn these dogs into dog food with their shotguns to kill them.
I think it finally got dealt with, but not before some kids got killed. Sadly this is not uncommon.
Glad to see some comments now saying how ridiculous this story sounds. Prolly seemed like mutant dogs to some little city slicker canadian man.
But there was no excuse for killing their dogs 70 years ago, other than they were attempting to destroy and eradicate their culture and social structures. Makes it way easier to steal their shit.
Also worth mentioning, this concert wasnt in the states I dont think, looks like canadian indians to me.
