Subject: RE: BS: Canada - The 60s Scoop-Stolen Children
What the American Indians, Canada's First Nation People, want, more than anything, is recognition of what ha been done to them. Then, for the mess that has been made of their lives, their culture, to be cleaned up..their respect and pride being given back to them by the very nations who have allowed this to happen in the first place.

I recognise it.

You can do this by opening many of the links I put on here, reading or watching them, then passing them on to folks you know, asking them, in turn, to do the same with their friends.

I opened a few. The rest seem pretty much the same. I don't pass on requests because I believe it is up to my friends are capable of finding their own links.

You can talk about it, contact your newspapers, start up pages, cover your FB pages in this information as I have done so with mine........

OK. I have written to the Salford Advertiser. No point in putting anything on my Facebook page. It is open for friends only (See above)

Then, you will find that people come to you and say thank you for telling them so much of what they had no idea had even happened, or is still happening to this day.


You will find that many of them are Americans.....


I don't particularly feel the need for approval from anyone.


You can go over to the Wall of the White House FB page, the FBI too, and inform masses of people, as millions post on those pages, particularly The White House ones....

Presumably you mean inform them of the plight of the American Indian. Would that not be better goming from someone who knows their plight first hand rather than a ageing folky who knows nothing?

You can get in contact with many of the Leonard Peltier 'chapters' who are all over Facebook...

You can even contact the producer of some of the CDs about Leonard Peltier...

You can phone up the prison where Leonard currently is, USP Coleman, in Florida.

You can write to him there....


I don't know enough about the Leonard Peltier case to decide whether he was innocent or guilty. Sorry. Besides - I thought this was about stolen children, not a disputed criminal?

You can bore the pants off people to such an extent that some American Indians will come to you and thank you for what you are doing for their children.

You can take the leads, the links which THEY pass to you, and pass them on to others........


How does boring the pants off people help. I would find it counter productive but if you feel that you must them please feel free.

You can recognise in your heart just how DEEPLY so many of these wonderful people are hurting...and how it heals, just a fraction, every time they realise that others care....

I do care. If that helps pass it on.


What you must NOT do, of course, is sit on internet boards taking no notice of any links, any requests to help, that may be put before you, preferring to use your usual up your own arse comments to try to belittle the very people who are trying to spread the word, for that is most definitely a very wrong thing to do...

Not belittling anyone. No 'up arse' comments. Again, I don't see how that helps. Maybe you could enlighten me?

Hope this helps. Any more suggestions for consideration?

Cheers
