So for those 2 say to move on, get over, I would say you R callous, & one-sided in your thinking. If we were really to examine the actions required 2 resolve this historical travesty, this lineage of genocide against us, Canada's 1st people, then we should as "Canadians" bring the Canadian Government and her people 2 trial 4 genocide. Bring the Canadian Government 2 court 2 charge them 4 removing the child, family, community & nations from their land, culture, language, & family. Tribal custom usage based on persons ability 2 connect 2 the land, their language & culture. Once the government removes those variables, U kill a people, destroy their connect 2 their mother tongue & take away their worth through attrition. By forcing them in2 residential schools, orphanages, reform schools, & isolated areas of barren land where disease, dysfunctionality, & abuse growths & festers due 2 the inability of a people 2 support themselves and become productive members of a collective society. With Canada's 1st people, representing a very small percentage of the Canadian population, why do Canada's first people represent over 65 percent of the federal and provincial jai population? Why do the majority of Canadians still see us Native people as drunks, losers, or just in jail? It's a 2 way street here, if these naysayers say that the intergenerational sorrows that continue to destroy us as a people must stop, then I say the intergenerational racist attitudes against us as a people must stop too. Stop recalling the racist attitudes taught to U racists by your parents, your grandparents, & your society's apparatuses of education, culture, & power 2 stop disseminating information that still positions Canada's 1st people below all others in this country. Get over it
