in fact blaming people for something they did not do like you are doing CC makes folk more resentfull to the whole cause , so use your brain before you do more harm

Maybe chuck can tell us if our recent batch of immigrants bear any blame in this as well, or is it only settlers.

By my calculation, liberal lefty houses are also built on claimed native land.

So when will the apologies from those groups start flowing. I dont see chinese and indian immigrants wearing too many orange shirts unless they are NDP supporters.

I am not personally blaming anyone for what happened in the past unless they were one of the abusers or furthering racists views.

Governments and churches are the ones that should take responsibility for harm done and the systemic problems, which is work in progress.

And of course all settler families, their descendants, the larger Canadian community, and more recent immigrants all have benefited from colonization. Some more than others.

But that doesn't mean we should ignore the results of past policies and harms done. Or deny the abuse or cultural genocide. Or deny the present day problems including lingering racism and intolerance.

Would you say that first Nations themselves have derived any benefits from colonization, or is this strictly a one-way Street?
Do healthcare and social programs and technology and the virtual elimination of famine the end of tribal warfare, guns, horses, automobiles, heated homes, education, law enforcement, Justice system, human rights, etc belong in the benefits column or the victims of colonization column?

One way to look at this is if the colonizers handed over the keys tomorrow and walked away, how many of these technologies and institutions would the first Nations immediately give up to return to the good old days?

Another thought, since the nfu which you are a member of is a strong advocate for the land back movement, assume we go through with that and return all the land to the tribes to whom it rightfully belonged to before the white man took it away, do you think there would be any disagreement amongst the various tribes as to who had the hereditary rights to what portion of canada? Or there were never any historical disputes over territory, their own intertribal legal system spelled out exactly what territory belonged to who? There have never been any wars over territory, the tribal distribution the day the white man came was set in stone since the beginning of time? The land back process would not result in any legal disagreements or civil war amongst or within tribes? Really think about the implications of that question.

Been said before, colonizers brought First Nations out of the Stone Age. No wheel, no horse, no written language. Guaranteed not a single one would go back to pre European civilization.

We all benefited, agree , it’s a wash. Nobody owes anyone.
