Are you in the US? I am always shocked when reminded how little recognition there seems to be in that country with how First Nations have been treated. We have a deplorable historical record in Canada with kidnapping children to 'residential schools' designed to obliterate their culture and languages, but over the last 50 years we have done a lot to reverse the harm and return local governance and control of land to First Nations. Whereas in Canadian residential schools it was forbidden to speak Fist Nations languages, enforced by cruel corporal punishment, the 'native schools', as they call them in NZ, seem to have not been so hostile to Maori culture. Maybe it is that 1 in 6 NZers are Maori, while in Canada 5% are First Nations (including Inuit), and in the US it is only 1 in 90. BTW, there is now a warning out in Canada that the US border Services are particularly targeting First Nations people from Canada if they try to cross the border. There is an irony in that.... LC
