    This colonizer horse shit ignores the fact that the people you stole the land from are still here.

    Yeah, so I have relatives with first nation blood, so I won’t own your toxic comment.

    Where’s the repairations?

    Without knowing what you consider to be important, the Government of Canada has helped to fund quite a few projects to help our indigenous people: Healthcare, infrastructure, social assistance, clean water, trade, business and economic growth within their communities, etc.

    Hundreds of millions are spent each year to ensure that we do what’s right.

    We’ve settled land claims (with more to come), and have worked to protect first nation culture and languages.

    There’s always more to be done, and as I mentioned, Canada acknowledges that this is still a work in progress.

        Two questions:

        1. Are you in Canada?

        2. Are you/your people indigenous to land now within Canadian borders?

        I’m very curious about what you would like to see happen.

        Do you want to deport all black people to Africa and all white people to Europe, or are you presuming that Indigenous would freely decide to host all of you on their land indefinitely?

          I would like to see settler-colonial governments abolished, settler wealth redistributed, and for settlers to betray whiteness/colonialism and join indigenous resistance to ultimately live side-by-side with indigenous people as equals.

          Black people are not settlers. It’s not like their ancestors came here to invade and colonize the land and it’s not like they have generational wealth from settler-colonialism.

            Thanks for answering but this isn’t very clear.I understand you don’t want co-governance, you want Indigenous Sovereignty - but you also want to get to put limits on that sovereignty.

            to ultimately live side-by-side with indigenous people as equals.

            You seem to want to make Indigenous people give whites and other groups use of the land, water, and other resources.

            But under that plan, Indigenous people would also have to be responsible for hosting them and all the labour of governance. They wouldn’t get to evict them.

            I wonder what your reaction is to any Indigenous people who would be against limitations to their sovereignty.

        That’s never going to happen. Various bands are not getting back land that now host large cities and infrastructure. You can rail against that injustice until your death, which will accomplish nothing, or you can try to find a way forward.

        And I say this as someone who believes that Canadian demographics are against you. The white guilt of colonization is quickly diluting into the pool of 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants who feel no guilt and have no connection to this questionable past. At that point nobody will care and your culture will be erased like so many others in the past.
