This is an excellent summary of where the indigenous movement is today - nowhere. My understanding is that 1% of Canada’s population currently lives on reserves. We are turning the country on its head to keep dying, dependent human warehouses semi-functional. Our transfer payments bribe the young indigenous people who are capable of living in the city to stay in a hopeless place, and pass that life on to their children

Thank you Michael for another insightful, informative and enlightening article. I have never heard of Wahbung before, but it explains quite a lot about the current state of affairs. In a culture so plagued with social pathologies it is understandable that as a group, pride in uniqueness and individuality is important to self esteem and unattainable and unsustainable dreams subjugate reality. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the only path to well being is assimilation and a rejection of apartheid. Balkanization of Canada is not an option and is only considered by those with a frail grasp of reality.
