I'm not into having a "National Day" for any race and I don't feel any different about the Indians. One day. National Human Day. One day in which we recognize man's inhumanity to man and that all human beings are the same.

Rob,
I am not trying to run any interference, it was the political elite (mostly British) at the time who decided on the program they implemented.
The different churches (not just the Catholics) were tasked with running it so why they get picked on all the time?
And for sure they did a poor job at that, but we don't know if there were other choices, remember child mortality was very high back then
and conditions were bad on the reserves.
I was brought up as a Catholic, me and my brother had to go to church every Sunday, I was even an altar boy for a while,
but I never heard or experienced such horrible acts, the priests and nuns were all decent people.
Is it a Canadian, or North American trait, what happened here and why?
I'm all for preserving fish and wildlife and access to, but the way I see it and the way things are going, the battle is already lost.
The FN are not crybabies, they are way past that, they are now DEMANDING everything and because the lawyers, not just white
but native, are on the take and that includes the spineless politicians, all siding with them.
Of course the implementation of UNDRIP is their ace in the hole.
You talk of murder, can you show me an absolute proof?
I am not celebrating FN's discriminatory power as I'm sure many of my fellow hunters feel the same way.
And don't tell me we are not getting discriminated against.
Just how is that such a small percentage of the population wield so much power over the rest?

Terrible things happened, and some individuals were responsible, and should be held to account. Every other aspect of the indian industry has been manufactured and kept alive for greed and power. Period.

[QUOTE=Harvest the Land;2260038]Care to elaborate on that? BTW that Act needs to be scrapped entirely - so much has changed since 1876.
Exactly ! the whole thing is a Phucking thing is a MESS ! Need a whole new ACT ! NOW ! RJ
I'm guessing that what many people think (and no, not just us whiteys!) is that throwing money at the problem hasn't worked and never will. I believe the statistic I read said we've (the taxpayers)
spent 4.2 trillion dollars since 1946 for reconciliation, don't think its working! Our hunting/fishing rights
are continually being held hostage and it isn't all about reconciliation, how the hell does $10,000 per child possibly
make up what they were put through! Everyone has to find some middle ground on this, but I can see that with the lack
of kahoonas in the Provincial AND Federal government, that's never going to happen....
So, here's the updated announcement with the registration link. June 21, at 7:00, for one hour.
It'll be a conversation between Chuck Zuckerman, BCWF president, and Solomon Reece, an Indigenous consultant.
We have already received some good questions. At this point we'll be addressing how hunters and anglers can coexist with Indigenous peoples as reconciliation, co-management of wildlife and land claims/sovereignty evolves, what First Nations can/might do to reassure supporters of truth and reconciliation that hunters and anglers will not be shut out from access and opportunity, what management and co-management might look like, how Indigenous groups and non-Indigenous groups can align on things like predator control and habitat, what UNDRIP/DRIPA may have in store and the challenges and success that BCWF has experienced in the realm of Indigenous Relations.
We need more questions as soon as possible because this is all brand new territory for us. We want to be able to prepare some useful answers. Please submit them to Kimberly Kelly by 12:00 noon on the 12th at kimberly.kelly@bcwf.bc.ca.
If you're late you can send them direct to me at rob@robchipman.net or by message through HBC.
If you think of a question during the event it will go into the chat function. The chat function will be visible only to BCWF staff so you don't need to worry about self-censoring. Feel free to ask the toughest question you can. WE may not have a good answer on the 21st, but we really want to hear clearly what the membership is concerned about.
The Zoom conversation will be recorded, just as the previous BCWF webinars have been.
