The reaility of the siutaion is that no change will occur due to all the oil and gas opportunities on "traditional aboriginal lands". Premier Prentice aka Alberta Minister of Aboriginal Affairs WILL NOT threaten their "traiditonal way of life" because he wants to avoid red tape generated from more law suits, lesislated hearings, and grevinaces. Ironically, aboriginals dont vote (histroically).....but they sure litigate.
Im sorry to tell you......we can not/will not win this one! |
As long as there are attitudes of "The Lazy Indian" and "Whiteman Speaks with Forked Tongue" and there is no in between we are all destined to spin our wheels and get nowhere. Our common ground is wildlife, we must leave all else at the door and then maybe some constructive ideas can be put forth and even implemented. This might be the 21st century but the attitudes have to change or it goes nowhere. IMO.
