FIRST NATIONS REALITY IN CANADA: 2007

Caused by suffering from open and systemic racism, Canada’s First Nation's peoples are mostly under-educated and poverty stricken. Thus, they are unable to compete effectively in the Nation’s job market and economy. This indefensible situation has begot for the country thousands of festering legal problems, Oka, Eel Ground, Gustafsen's Lake, and so on, and economic problems.

There seems to be no realistic efforts by Canada's politicians to change things. For instance, to-date, the federal and provincial governments have steadfastly refused to agree to recognize the fact that First Nation’s Peoples are legally and morally entitled to effective and independent self-government within the framework of Canada. What is being offered is little better than municipal powers.

Canada needs to look inward and face its racist past and then find the moral certitude to come up with realistic solutions that will satisfy the survival needs of its First Nations Peoples!
