what would say if our roles were reversed...
What if my brother red skins came into you home and removed your children at gun point!
What if we made them attend our school where they are beaten for speaking English, made to renounce they god, they culture, their heritage, their own parents... then we force them to take new names and force then to fit into our society???? that was done to us... and it could be done to you...
would you still feel the need to accept and adapt... or you would you fight?

Is it still happening today? I really hope not. If it is, its a human rights violation. Is Canada still allowing this to happen? To todays natives?

You so called indigineous people didnt lose anything that belonged to you!
You didnt own the land or the resources,no one did.
You didnt enforce ownership or lay claim in a recognisable manner to these things you claimed were stolen from you.

I swear I'm gonna start banging my head on the desk....
were not asking anyone to go or give back... were asking for equal right and for our governments to honor and abide by the agreements they signed... that's all...
Now I got a headache.... maybe I better shut up before I say something I regret

Couldn't say up where you are... but as to your question... is it still happening... he's a FAQ from the BIA web site
