Pretty disgusting, FootPrints. Those INAC officials should be required to live on that Res. for a couple of months.

   

Natives were also told that the blankets they were given, taken from the corpses of smallpox victims,were safe. Is history repeating itself with the same motivation?<br /> Brent

   

Some grand standing by a First Nation politician at the expense Canadian civil servants, who are not allowed to defend themselves and we all react.<br /> <br /> Water quality reports are send from Health Canada to the First Nation water plant operators on a regular basis.

Someone suggested to me that the victims of the Scottish Highland clearances have legitimate land claims, than could be taken to the International court by their descendants. Ditto with Irish victims of Cromwell.
I sure hope they do, and put a damper in the activities of land thieves in the future, who assume they will never face consequences for their actions. The legal precedent will help all people who have beeen vitimized by them. Perhaps they could unite their efforts around the world to some degree.

   

Umm, a couple of questions for ya. For one, is there a link or some kind of news refrence for this?

Two, I'm not sure what you're refering to when you're talking about running pipeline upstream or when you're refering to moving the town. Can you give a little more info.

Three, you don't need to put your name bellow your posts. For a while there I thought you were talking to yourself.
