We where not ready for you either yet look you have been Regovernering a people who where are already established when you came in and started restructuring a already structured society The strategy has changed mask the end result has not changed in your minds Yet it has in these nations of people You have stood on the same place for hundreds of years as squatters yet treat these nations as such I and many others are still living outside of our truth due to the disconnect you try to shadow us with
ReplyDeleteI have First Nations roots (Blackfoot), and so does my wife (Ojibwe). I also have roots across the Atlantic (Irish). So half of me wasn't ready for the settlers, the other half was escaping a famine in Ireland. I carry both legacies with me; I live Canada, and I believe a first Nations GG would be fine. I'm also fine with a pasty white one, or a spectacularly intelligent scientist - perhaps especially Ms. Payette.
ReplyDeleteI'm a realist, though, with some optimistic bones. I have to be, though. This is the world we live in.
If you read the opinion, the reason for not having a First Nations GG was to prevent Canadians from claiming were in a post racial era with respect to treatment of indigenous and I fully agree. It would imply a partnership where when we are still trying to unilaterally set limits and conditions for their self governance. (which isn't the act of a partnership)
