CBC did not publish article, so here it is: 2nd. story about Elder omission is at link below:
Some people have 2 understand the fiduciary relationship of Canada & her 1st people 2 the original treaties & why there is a lack of treaties & broken treaties which exist. We can thank Cabot, Champlain, Cartier & others who were looking 4 a passage to India. Cabot thru the King’s Letter of Patent, set sail & the rest is history. The new immigrants, traders took advantage of our ancestors because they had the best resources. 2day we still struggle with this historical embedded racism yet some people will never understand why we must fight for our rights & benefits, because those treaties are law which last for generations 2 come. Treaties were signed because of the land that we lost. Dead or no deed that is old world written literacy thinking that has no argument here today. The cultural , political, economic apparatuses of this country romantized the 1st. people’s history The dime novels of the time, the melodrama forms & newspapers of the Wild West defined our relationship to each other since the modernist period 2 the literacy of your local papers & media 2day. The historical real, the spectacle real, & the erotic real has defined your coveting of who we are as a people due to this modernist period, I write about, but as well to the romanticist period, with novels like Ferdinand Cooper’s Last of The Mohicans, or the story of John Smith & Pocahontas romanticized our relations to each other. This ideological condition developed out of the progression of North American Pop Culture as the masses bought into the desires of a material capitalist culture. From how your grandparent’s great great Grandparents, the “Indian” was painted in the derogatory light then, as it is 2day. Why? Because of the lack of correct education about the history of the 1st people.
That is why there was no Elder at SUmmit, because these politicians are not properly educated about Indigenous history with the moonyass!
