That is one very moving story. Canada is such a mixture of beauty and ugliness. I've lived within a very short distance of a native Canadian group and got to know several of them, their stories would break your heart. It will never leave me how they don't expect their situation to improve at all because they simply don't believe any more that Canadians see them as an inconvenience that they'd love to see die out. Just their existence is a permanent reminder that all isn't well in Canada and that reminder results in the weirdest forms of retribution against people that have done absolutely nothing wrong. Note that this is happening in the present, not the past.
Amazing story. It tells one solid truth: culture is a construct, like a piece of garment can be, like an ornament. It can be burrowed, changed, adapted, created, dumpted, matched, merged, whatever.<p>Theses guys have one culture too many to learn about and get richer from. That's a gift.
