Just like the British did when they first arrived in Newfoundland, the Indians must be exterminated, their potential to frustrate must be removed.   Prime Minister Harper, Chief Teresa Spence and others are distracting the world from the real issue at hand, where the real money is.

 

Follow the money. If we do not address this now, stop this extermination of the last surviving Indian peoples, those still living their original cultures, the "white liberal guilt" will last for many more centuries.'

 

Someone should advise all the Idle No More protesters of what is really going on.
  

As a footnote;

 

While everyone is looking at Ottawa the really action is out west, the northwest

 

The greatest insult to the entire affair is the man who is selling out the Tsimshian Nation. He has taken to proclaiming himself as the holder of the highest Kitsumkalum Tsimshian Hereditary title, that of the Raven clan previously held by Charles Nelson, the man who met George Little and was later hit by the train.   And he took this name, not even being of the right clan (born into the Killerwhale clan) to hold it.

 

To add further insult to the injury of this sad tale is how during the time and at the event where he took this name was a celebration by a previous Chief and master carver.   Clifford Bolton was a man who last attempted to assist in reviving the Tsimshian culture. It was during his tenure that he ordered the rail line be removed from accessing their territory. The last insult?   Just after he passed away, not even a month had transpired, the Kitsumkalum Band allowed the tracks to be reinstalled.
