Gnu, that's one of my beefs. White people constantly bring up stories of wrongdoing by First Nations people while conveniently ignoring the fact that countless white people do the same damn things, if not always so openly and without the FN background of believing (or pretending to believe - everybody likes money)they are treaty-entitled to natural resources.

I'm in a constant mouthy battle, while trying not to make enemies, with people who overfish, overhunt, kill birds and animals it's illegal to kill, kill animals because they might cause them a little inconvenience ("damn beavers cut down my favourite birch tree, so I shot the suckers, loons/mergansers/ospreys are taking all the trout outta the lake so I shot the suckers, skunk was rootin' around my lawn, so I shot the sucker..."), tear upland bogs that used to have rare orchids to shreds with ATVs, illegally dam or divert streams on their properties to the detriment of anything that might depend on that stream, bury toxic waste so they don't have to pay the processing fees, and on and on. Most of these people are white, nobody turns them in, and except for me it seems nobody tells them to grow a brain.
