I'm deeply touched to learn that not only do the Canadian people stand up against these horrible events. But they do so out of their own vollition.

I love you guys. I hope that Canada and Europe getting closer will bring that same spirit back here.

    Well there is progress but the RCMP still treat the Indigenous like dogs in many places. Thy would drive walk drunken indigenous out of town to a snowy area to sober up and leave them there. Many froze to death.

    This reads like "we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong"

    Oh shit I thought that doc was an indictment not a defense.

    The RCMP systematically exterminated dog teams that were used for transportation etc. very effectively destroying the ability for those communities to be self sufficient.

    When the dogs were killed, Inuit were abruptly forced into settlements, adopting a non-Inuk way of life that severed their vital connection to the animals, land, and sea, as well as the traditions that had been passed down for as long as can be remembered.

    This should be a better account of the impact of this.
