It is sad to have to acknowledge these realities, and I unfortunately don't have a solution. My role as I see it is to present what is veridical, in other words what squares with objective reality. This allows us to find ourselves in very close quarters with the truth, which is the goal - I know of no other way of going about it. As to Nepinak, well I guess I now need to assemble all of my postings about "sovereignty" in one place. Hopefully this data can be used along with the facts in relation to the Two Row Wampum and even the wording of the Nanfan document ("our Great Father the King of England") to show that sovereignty and "nation to nation" dialogue is an illusion and does not fit the facts. BTW I am all for dispensing with the Indian Act, as long as that means dissolving the Reserves and assigning property in fee simple. Indian people will never be truly equal until the albatross of the Reserves is removed.Administrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05281509400158726212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461637042198814103.post-18747962963183050962016-06-16T14:58:20.483-04:002016-06-16T14:58:20.483-04:00Dy: You are to be congratulated for all of your fi...Dy: You are to be congratulated for all of your fine efforts and meticulous research over many years; unfortunately the resistance and stonewalling continue even from those groups which profess to also be seeking the facts and truth; what I have learned from such as the Shorthills Wildlife Alliance is that their particular VERSION of the truth has become more important than achieving common goals; sadly this is a "habit" all too often encountered when trying to initiate and open up dialogue involving aboriginal issues; it also involves the willful blindness and egotism of those very same groups who believe that the only viable solutions are the ones they come up with themselves, even though they have done nothing but "spin their wheels" and play the same game of political correctness they accuse others of playing; BTW chief Nepinak is headed this way with his motorcycle entourage to Niagara in early July (they actually were Gofunding to help pay for part of the trip!) Nepinak has already stated that his agenda involves working on developing a process for nation to nation talks, the abolition of the Indian Act with direct references to the Treaty of Niagara and Two Row Wampum as sources which support sovereignty and independence (or whatever...)MyOrendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10648612748999773257noreply@blogger.com
