well i'm glad most of the simpleton and bigoted attitudes went quite but gnu, you know absolutelty nothing about the canadian courts. i worked in them for years, representingt a lot of natives. they were not allowed to sue in court in most provinces untill circa 1970, fererally untill 1968, ever wonder why the backlog of land claims and other native rights suits. they do not get proper legal representation, they do not get the same damages for the same torts as white people do--just look at the paltry settlements for the residential schools--white people would have gotten a half a million to three million each, natives get twenty thou if they are lucky. they get different treastment from the police. i won a lot of criminal defences for natives by just pleading not guilty--the cops would never have the evidence as they didn't expect a native to have a decent lawyer willing to run the trial. and let me tell you was constantly being reported to the law society on false claims that i was dragging out the cases--lucky for me i won all the trials or appeals that were subject to complaint. most white lawyer plead natives guilty whether they have a defence or not, and most cops over charge natives expecting guilty pleas and looking to get their convoiction rates up.

in addition i worked in a poverty law clinic for a while and we had to sue to get the same appeals for natives on welfare and disability aS WHITES GET.the bureaucrats would routinely deny them things they were legally entitled to and usually the native has no acess to sue--except the odd poverty law clinic. then they get so used to doing this the bureaucrats think its legal --untill you get before a judge . i used to get unbelievable responses. i had to sue to just look at the file more thasn once--this is given to the client aas routine if you are white.

i could go on but if you think natives get equal access to courts you are absolutely ignorant on the subject.

moreover the term indigenous people actually means something. you aren't an indegineous person becaue your family has lived somewhere a long time-- that attitude is at the heart of colonial imperialism.

be gratefull tyhat natives are so foirgiving--they have a lot to hate us for, and the present generation is just comming out of the residential schools holoucoust. ever wonder why native population is prexsently booming? well have of ever generation aren't killed by heglect of health care anymore--they don't have equal health care nor equal access to water and decent food but they are way ahead of pre 1978 when th residential schools were abolished, so their children get to grow to adulthood in number unknown since before the arrivasl of the white man.

again be gratefull they are so foirgiving
