So what should it have said? Remember this all started at a time when it was acceptable to shoot the natives, as they were trying to drive us off the the land we took from them. They had a choice; go to the reserves or be eliminated. The last few went to reserves.
The native were considered a worthless people, as they could not be enslaved. They had so little value of there own lives that they would die before being enslaved. So then about a hundred years later, we tried to integrate them into society, and that failed. All they are good at is reproducing, and the arts. What should we do, eliminate them, or let them come to rule us? Those are the two choices we are headed for.
Saskatchewan has a major problem in northern towns. The communities are dyeing as the whites leave. Oh well, in the end we all just die anyway. As the Co2 level continues to rise, as the overpopulation problem continues, as climate change continues, why should I care?
